I seem to remember from some of your other posts, that you are basically a rational person, and you want answers.
I am like that too.
When I first got sober, I loved AA it really got me going with the group and all.
but later, I started to explore other therapies and ways to deal with depression and alcoholism.
now to my point, finally.
have you ever read about or tried rational emotive therapy?
I found it extremely helpful to fight off those depressing repetitive thoughts.
I had to question my
feelings that were most likely based on
beliefs that werent true.
maybe you can take a look at the webpage, it might be called rational emotive behavioral therapy. by robert ellis.
