Sounds familiar. I kind of hit a rock bottom at 6 months in. Id got to the stage where i really wasnt doing much to get better apart from Not Drinking. And for me anyway, that just wasn't enough. I found this link about PAWs, and this made me realise that, as Dee always advises, I really did need to get a plan of recovery together and start working it 100%. Sure, we can sit around and just wait for it to pass, but I just wanted to die most of the time, so waiting around was becoming more and more problematic. I think the biggest turning point for me was doing the one thing I'd said for the previous 6 months that I could never do, which was getting a sponsor and actually starting to work the 12-step recovery program in AA. Previously I'd been going to one or two meetings a week and kind of hoping it'd just rub off on me. Lol. And I suppose it had given me some tools and some hope, but that doesn't help us deal with ourselves and our own faulty thinking, which I know now, is what kept me in the vortex of despair.
