I know a lot of people have been better about what’s been going on with the quarantine but I’ve been depressed af and it sucks. I’ve been really feeling down on myself, a lot of uncertainties in my personal and professional life and I don’t have a lot going for me. I feel like I don’t have many outlets to address my personal concerns but I’m glad I have somewhere to go (here). To be honest I think I need to stop drinking but with all the bs that has been going on I can’t help myself. When everything started to go south on Reddit with T_D I took it to heart because it was one place I knew I could rely on people that would have my back. Just glad i have you all here. Who ever read this, thank you for at least getting this far.

It sounds like you’re headed in the right direction. If you see your bad habits, you can address them and move forward. I stopped drinking for similar reasons. I had been drinking to deal with stress and push down guilt. I’m not telling you to stop or anyone else, but you’ll know what’s right for you. Something that worked for me, I waited a few months before I told anyone I stopped. I didn’t want the pressure of saying “I quit” and just drink again in a few days. I just told myself I’d see how I felt and then when things got better for me, I started to tell my friends and family. I’m happy you have a place like this. I was a huge lurker on T_D and was in fear I’d be somehow doxxed and lose my job. I’m grateful for these smart people to have the foresight to create this site.
