I really like this quote. Ceasing drinking in alone was never really enough for me, either. I would get to a place where I would honestly be so miserable that it didn't feel "worth it" to continue, and I'd wind up saying f'it, and slide into relapse.


To the OP:
I would definitely suggest you describe these symptoms to your doctor. What you are detailing sounds like both the physical and mental symptoms of depression. There are several options for medications that may help improve your mood, as well as a handful of therapeutic techniques to address the effects of this diagnosis.

Are there any reasons you have for not wanting to address this with your doctor?
