Self-medicating with alcohol?

I know that alcohol is a depressant, and drinking wine to wash down the prozac is dum, but it helps me get through the night. I've tried to give it up, and on nights I don't drink I don't miss it, but the short-term relief is all I can think about some days. I wonder how common it is to self-medicate with alcohol.

I do it all the time-- but, I don't mix it with meds, and you really shouldn't either. Its dangerous.

I have a shrink, but it's only just occurred to me that this is part of the self-destructiveness I feel.
(I think my Creative Stalker must have an alarm set up for whenever I post a new discussion btw. It really hurts my feelings; I think it's spiteful and cowardly.)

I love how these things get rated "creative" "helpful"....
anyways, yeah, I've weened myself off, but did a lot of self medicating w/ alcohol. helped me sleep, forget my problems, who I am, etc. I do know you're not supposed to mix it w/ drugs, but IDK all the consequences, but, yeah, I take prozac, too, and I've mixed everything together. Let's see if I'm creative too

I rated you helpful, cos it is. When you say weened, did you cut back slowly, or substitute it with something else?

Lmao, oh Juice, don't let such a childish thing hurt your feelings. I think its rather funny- can you imagine some nerd on the other side of the screen clicking "creative" spitefully?! LMAO! X)!
Being on a self destructive path isn't good. Make sure you talk to that shrink- no good will come from harming yourself.

I rated myself creative. I think I'm rather inventive, don't you?

P.S.-- I know who the person doing the creative ratings is. She's someone I recently burned by taking off my friends list. I did a little selective cleaning, and now I'm getting these ratings. Phew, mystery solved. I'll pm her name to you guys.
