Hi aDaisy

I think there's good advice here - if depression is a factor I encourage you to speak with your Dr.

For me though, I found life sober was pretty joyless in the beginning...I finally had a handle on the not drinking but I realised I needed to work on my life too....drinking had shrunk my world...I needed to widen it again...it took some work but I found joy again

Paradoxically it was service work - working and doing for others - that really helped me find myself and my meaning of life...and then joy...again
