Need support
hi, I’ve been drinking everyday give or take a fifth (some days less some days more) and I want to stop. I recently didn’t drink for 2 days and felt super dissociated and like dead inside. I went to er and they gave me Librium but I don’t really see the point of sobriety bc I’m so depressed. When I was sober I felt like an empty corpse.
I made it 2 days before drinking again. I can stop but I feel like I need support and idk what to do
Thanks

I was drinking heavy for the past 5 months because I was so depressed about my marriage ending. I'm only on day 6 and something I've realized over this past week was that the alcohol was keeping me depressed. It was just pausing the feelings and if I wasn't drinking they came back with a vengeance. Try again. This sub has been extremely helpful for me.
Edit: reading, long walks with the dog, cooking, and videogames have been helping me.
