Binge drinking: If you continue binge drinking, there's a continued toll on your body, mind, and emotions. Antidepressants may help you tread water, but adding alcohol into the mix throws everything off. I hope you're involved in aa, have a sponsor, and are working your steps. Recovery is always possible for those who want it. Good luck to you.
