He only needs it to function now as its taken hold. The GP will be a great help, my husband started taking anti -depressants and was clean for 2 years as I said before. The anti depressants will make him feel a bit ‘void’ no highs but no lows, so it will keep him steady. Alcohol is a depressant (i’m sure I dont need to tell you that) so if he can stop drinking too that will help with the depression.
Do you think there is an underlying angst going on here, I mean to have turned to it in the first place?
Can I ask when/where he was doing it? Do you know? If at work does he work alone?
