It has been 6 weeks and 2 days since I have drunk any alcohol, I used to drink all day every day.
It has only been possible because I am taking antidepressants, without them the anxiety and insomnia would had been unbearable.
My negative symptoms have got worse since I gave up alcohol, I have much less enjoyment doing things and I don’t talk much and have become more unsociable.
I think drinking alcohol is ok in moderation but I am not able to do that.

I gave up drugs 20 years ago. Drugs consumed my every waking moment for years. When I quit I was lost because now I had all this time on my hands. I was no longer searching to get high. It was difficult having to adjust and learn to live without drugs. Eventually I found hobbies and stuff to do with my time to make myself happy. Over time you will too.
