It's Genetic,

That was a wonderful post and so informative. Drinking is a true problem with people who are depressed. It just makes you more depressed after you come down off of it. And for lenghty periods of time. It is dangerous to a fetus. Very dangerous. Fetal alcohol syndrome is terrible. It ruins a person's life. Anybdoy who would drink when they were pregnant is terrible. Thanks for posting this my friend.

Hugs, Karen

Ah, well. I have talked about his problems with him for a long time now... he needs to talk to people who've been where he's been and can hopefully help him realize there is reason and there is a way to move on. I don't know if he'd be willing to up and post a thread on here and pour his soul out, though. Perhaps you could reach him if you'd like? I would be so appreciative!

I'm on 100 of sertraline and I have gone from having a few drinks once a week to 2 bottles of wine a night. I tried to stop the alcohol and found I couldn't. I spoke to my doctor who gave me diazepam for two weeks to have instead of alcohol then I will start camprol for the cravings. You can't take camprol until you haven't had alcohol for 2 weeks hence the diazepam. I'm now also going to A A meetings xxx

Cheryl,

I am so happy you have stopped drinking. I wish you the best. Keep up the AA meetings, I hear that they can really help. You may want to look for a support group too.

Keep hanging in there. Congratulations!!!

Hugs, Karen...
