Once again a good post. Actually I am clinically depressed and I self medicate with alcohol...but I am physically fucked for life and suffer a great deal of pain...so I am clinically depressed with cause and if I consume enough alcohol it seems to relieve some of the pain and depression. I have prescribed medication for pain including morphine patches but I use the pain medication as little as possible and very, very rarely use the patches. I will reach a point where that may change.
