Problem with drinking

[lonely_world]

I'm very afraid I have let alcohol control me; i'm very severely depressed and lately I have drank to "deal" with the pain. I don't want to start AA or talk to my doctor about it, because if I feel like I have let myself down by drinking, I will feel worse. Can anyone help me if they have been through this too? Thank you.

I have the same problem. I have also been severely depressed for about 5 years now. I have always turned to something so I dont have to feel the emotions and pain. Whether it be alcohol, food, self harm(cutting/burning) None of which really works. It makes me feel even worse after. I have tried medication for depression but the negatives outway the positives for me. I'm sorry I cant help but I just wanted to share that.

The only solution I can see is to go to AA or the doctor. Why don't you want to talk to them about it? You've admitted here you have a problem, and they can help you with that.
I hope you find a solution
