Not only is it a big no no, it's not making anything any better. Is there anybody you can call and talk to right now? Please be careful.

I think we all need some method of escape and fun. You're right that alcohol (mixed with meds) isn't a healthy one.

The only idea I have is to replace it with something better. For instance, I have dessert every night. I watch Oprah whenever I can. Those are pretty much harmless "guilty pleasures" that help me get through the day. They give me something to look forward to and help me forget the world for a short time.

Also, I read a lot. It's a great way to "escape" your life and distract a restless mind. I'm not saying do these things nonstop... but a little bit of joy every day is necessary.
