I can only echo what has been said Davey, the fact that you have "come out", for want of a better phrase is the first step to recovery.
As Phil said earlier though, you need today off the booze for a while, certainly until you are fully recovered. You may think alcohol is your friend at times like this, it is not, it is your enemy, and can lead you down that dark path again.
Take care and if you feel that things are getting on top of you again, for goodness sake, shout up, we have all been in a dark place at one time, myself included not long after my dad passed away. With the help of my wife, the rest of the family, and my good friends on here, I realised where the problem lay, and pulled myself round.
