Alcolholic with Depression
... been trying to get over my alcolhism and depression for months now. resigned from a 6-figure salary (on my own accord) because I couldnt deal with the daily pressures of work, family and my addiction. Am now at a point where I feel it best to end my life. I have a huge insurance policy that will pay off big! I have a wife, children and a extended family that love me. However... I feel so dispondent every day that I can't move forward. I want to pull out of this rut... but there are easier - quicker solutions that I've considered.

Ending your life is not a viable option.
You have a family. By ending your life, you would be damaging them all permanently. Money isn't the only thing that matters. Also, most insurance policies have suicide clauses in them saying that if you commit suicide, they won't pay off.
There are ways of getting over depression and alcoholism.
First, you'll need to address your drinking. You need to find a psychiatrist who can work with you to cut down your drinking to a level where your depression can be addressed. Don't try to stop drinking on your own, because there may be negative psychological effects from the withdrawal and you'll need to be carefully supervised. This has to be done first because alcohol can make your depression worse, and will make it hard for your doctor to assess and treat you properly. In addition, alcohol will interact with any prescription drugs that you take.
You need to pull out of this rut so that you can see your family grow. They need you to be the best person you can be. Tell your wife what you're doing to make things better and let her know that you'll need a little extra understanding while you're going through all of this. Tell your kids that you're going through a rough time, but that you're going to try to be there for them. Being a dad doesn't mean being infallible. In fact, I respect my father a whole lot for telling me about his depression when I was a young child.
You have so much to live for. Make the most of it!
