Glad you posted, thirtybubba. Hang in there. Now that I'm sober there are still times when I am acutely depressed. For me sobriety is no overall panacea, sh!t still happens, the difference is that now I have to deal with it instead of numbing it away. To use a clumsy analogy; it's like putting up with the temporary pain of removing a splinter instead of letting it fester.

I found weeks 2-4 very difficult, I was over the sobriety honeymoon and wanted a divorce. It's hard, but day by day I'm moving forward and healing a little bit more - you can too.

Dee's advice about widening your net is spot on, clearly you're not getting the support you need with your current contacts/resources.
