Thanks kzaug I'm going to research stuff to do as just can't sit around being sober. I don't think I've got the black dog depression but certainly the blues as you say and when I think about it normal now that I've stopped drinking. It's a bit of a revelation, hey? Eek what have I done with my miserable life! No way 'round it but through it so will start to check stuff out now to find some little niche that interests me. Might grow a veggie garden. Hope your blues have shifted. Best wishes to everyone.
