Thank you for your replies. I am going to talk to my therapist about it next week (I already had canceled my appt for this week, smart, yeah.)

I know I have to stop drinking, but for the poster who said I'm taking enough "downers" and may kill myself, aren't Wellbutrin and Prozac considered meds that tend to energize? My dx is atypical depression/OCD. I also have been binge eating like mad (oh yeah, have major problems in the food area, but that's another story. Of course, it's all inter-related, I'm sure.

I'm not making a rationale for my drinking to excess, but I do think some of cravings for alcohol in the evening was a desire to "unwind" from the extra nervousness and "keyed-up" feelings caused by the meds.

Anyway, I was so grateful there were replies to my post today and an understanding of the situation. As cliche as it sounds, it does help to know there are others who have had similar struggles and that I am not alone. As for AA, I don't know!
