Keep it up DK, I am trying to catch you. Keep the lead on me.

So glad to see the sober days piling up, Paul. Even when we're not feeling our best, using only keeps us further in the muck pile. Cheering you on! Hugs, Donna

I'm having a real problem with motivation to do anything. Since I'm not working, I'm supposed to be the home maker, and I'm really sucking at it. I've been zoning out, watching complete seasons of cable TV shows on the internet. Usually during sober periods in the past, I was pretty motivated to get stuff done, and I just seem to be devoid of energy. My gf told me today that I may as well be smoking pot, lol (which I'm missing a bit). The only thing I can think of that is different this time is that I'm on Paxil.

That is so like me at the moment Ive barely left the sofa since Friday, I even sleep on it because I cant be bothered to get up and go to bed. I dont feel depressed as such but something is draining my energy. Is Paxil an anti depressent because im on Citalopram and its supposed to lift you up not wear you out. Im going to the doctors today and hopefully he will let me know the score. Hang in there, I need to read your posts on the secular thread to help keep me going. x

I found a solution for my alcoholism other then alcohol in the program of AA, the solution involved a whole lot more then going to meetings though. DK I am glad you are staying sober, I have a feeling that things might change for you if you found a program of any type and started to really work it. Get involved in things, get out of your self and work with other people.

I would actually like to get to more meetings, but it means an hour and a half on the road and money that I don't have because I'm unemployed, which is what I was mostly referring to when I said my life was "in the shitter". That, and being stuck in this bum !@#% town, which makes it harder to fight the OCD and anxiety and go out and attempt to work. I've applied for General Assistance disability and see an independent psychologist on Thursday. I've been hitting a meeting when I have to drive into Spokane for something else, although I did drive in for an Atheist & Agnostic meeting on Sunday morning. I plan on continuing to make that meeting, because while it still focuses on making changes in thinking and behavior, it takes a Humanist perspective and is free of God talk and prayer. Finally a place where I really fit...

The meeting time was too close to my appointment time... and the psych eval was horrible. Memory tests triggered OCD symptoms which triggered an anxiety attack and then an emotional breakdown. I almost got locked up...
