Hey, welcome to the club. I went through a long period of being reliant on drinking in my attempts to stabilize my moods. The physical aspects of addiction turned out to be the easiest part of stopping drinking for me. After a year and a half sober, I still deal with my triggers. Walking myself mentally through the process of drinking (the first one, the next who knows how many drinks, the blackouts, the following days of depression and feeling so very ill), really helps me stay away.
Campral (acamprosate) was invaluable during the initial period of sobriety. Have you ever tried it?
take care,
ClearSkies
