What gets me through the day is thinking about the bottle of wine I’ll get to drink when I get home.  I’m new to this diagnosis and have had a hard time coping.  I’ve been diagnosed bipolar since I was 18.  It’s almost like I don’t know my own identity right now.  I’m so confused and alcohol helps me not think.  I stopped hurting myself but this might be just as harmful.  I don’t want to go to AA.  I’ll bring it up to my therapist and psychiatrist this week.  Any tips on sobering up solo?
