Hi Justine
I have certainly gone through what you describe; the same old grind day in and day out, coupled with depression. I do believe it's normal, and that's hard for us to do, as recovering persons. Do you know why I think I get/got depressed? I was bored. Things were just too .. neutral. Maybe I needed a good dose of chaos, I don't know. What helps to fill my time today is meetings, and the fellowship with other alcoholics that comes with that. I try hard to get out of myself and to seek out the newcomer at meetings, in order to pass on my phone # and to give them hope. That helps too. If you are in AA, try to get active in service. That will open many doors for you, and the rewards are high. As Lizzy suggested, exercise is great for the mind/body.
I'm a big advocate of exercise myself, but I'm too depressed today to work out lol isn't that awful? Where did my motivation go? Anyway .. one thing for sure, this boredom .. this too shall pass. Keep coming back.
