Day at a time mate. I sold my house and that has helped me so far (not suggesting you do that)

Nail on the head there mate. Luckily I don't drink. Bloats me and makes feel unwell. My weakness I'd chocolate. I'll go a block without even blinking so I do understand how people can get addicted to alcohol. I've never heard that one beer is too many and a hundred isn't enough.

I spent this arvo finishing off detailing my car. It's one of the few things that I can do without breaking or damaging anything

I got called in to work tomorrow. Evacuation training. Heard it all before and will be boring but at least out of the house and surrounded by people.

I think anxiety can lead into depression. Today has been ok but some days get really dark.

You have kids involved as well? That just adds another layer Ontop as well. Even though I'd have loved just one child, somektimes greatful imdidnt with my ex because I'd be in a world of hurt.
