Hi and Welcome,
I'm glad you found us.
I think early sobriety involves making some very tough choices. For me, I could not be around alcohol at all, for quite awhile. I had to find other activities to fill my time, and it was a time of growth.
If, like me, your depression came first, you may need to get it treated by a dr. I did and still take antidepressants and always will. If, like Carol, drinking caused your depression, it should gradually lift as you recover.
