WHERE I AM AT AT THE MOMENT

I am currently suffering from persistent mild/moderate depression. My alcohol use unfortunately continues although I am now part of a support group for people with addictions that I am finding useful. The medication called antabuse that I was taking was not really a success due to me being somewhat inconsistent with taking it and the fact that I found I could still drink despite having taken it.

I guess I feel quite stuck at the moment. Where do I go from here? You see, because of the depression, I am caught in a vicious cycle of feeling low then self-medicating with alcohol that temporarily relieves the low mood but the next day I am low again and feel like having more alcohol. I don't always give in to the cravings and DO try other strategies to help me. Also I still manage to function well despite my low mood, for example I am managing to go to work one day per week. I also keep active during the week going to various groups run by MIND and other organisations.
