Thanks everyone!

I'm pretty new to long distance running and honestly, don't really enjoy running more than a mile... I'm more of a sprinter but am trying to embrace running as a hobby because it keeps me in shape and I always feel better (mentally) after running.

One day I will join a running club... I think I might be kind of depressed because I don't feel like doing much of anything, especially meeting new people. I also don't seem to enjoy the things I used to enjoy. I'm not sure if drinking too much caused these feelings or if the feelings caused me to drink too much (in hopes of masking the feelings which we know is only a temporary fix but I attempted to do it anyway).

Anyway, I'm newly sober (less than a week) and attempting to be happy, sober, because the thought of no more wine, ever, makes me feel sad/depressed. I know this isn't true because I was sober for 4 years a while ago and those were the best 4 years of my life. I just need to take it one day at a time, and I'm glad I found SR!
