I'm so tired - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

What do I do? My faith comes and goes, I'm up for a while and then I'm down. I am optimistic and then i'm hopeless. I just keep bouncing around and it's driving me crazy. Help

My advice & what helps me when I am in my "down" times is to make myself pray more & delve into the word more. Pray for God to strengthen your faith. Surround yourself with a support group. Call someone & ask them to pray for you. Make a list of how God has blessed you or been faithful to you in the past & thank Him.

Just a few ideas. Hope they help.

Sweetpea gave some good ideas. I would only add this...

We all have good days and other days.
On the days I am feeling down, I may need force myself to seek out my joy.
One of the ways I do that is by listening to some Christian praise music and sing along when I feel inspired to do so.
