I feel like drinking often. I cant because I have had alot of problems with it. &nbsp;I am addicted to benzo's and am on a reduction programme - properly controlled by my doctor, as well as on sertraline. &nbsp;

I have had problems for years. As well as the awful depression, and drink binges, when I'm not drinking, which is all the time currently, I find it really hard to go anywhere where people are drinking and seeming to have a good time. &nbsp;I feel like some sort of freak and long to be back 20 years ago, when I could enjoy a few drinks with friends.

Last night I went to a concert with my husband - an artist who used to be one of our favourites in 'our youth'. With people drinking in the pub near the venue, and also at the venue, I found that after the support act I was feeling lower and lower, clutching my bottle of water, thinking - why am I even here - and tears started rolling down my cheeks. &nbsp;My husband looked at me, and said, we'd better get you home, so we left.

This has happened a few times in the last year, so I think for the time being there isnt much point in trying to do this sort of thing.

I just feel safer at home, reading a good book, watching Tv or fims I like, drinking tea or coffee, stroking my cat, pottering about tidying up,... and hoping, hoping, I will one day feel better. But I know its a long process. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Please get as much help as you can.
