I suffered from both Alcoholism and Depression. I survived after receiving ECT and Sleep Therapy. I have been well for 7 years. There is hope. Please read my blog at http://alcoholism-alifesentence.blogspot.com.
Thanks for your post. Rather than link to a blog, it would be really helpful if you could also elaborate on swiy's story here instead of solely linking to an outside site. The reason this forum runs well is because of its content and the interaction and discussion among users, so post content is important.
Also, it is important to "SWIM." We prefer that for any substance, even one that may be legal and acceptable in one's country, one not say "I" as we want to protect the forum and individuals, and this is an international forum where laws differ. Thanks! Feel free to report your story if you like and elaborate a bit more.
