This is a perfect description of my experience.

I think it is normal to experience some anhedonia during the early part of recovery. Regular life can't complete with the dramatic stimulating and mollifying effects that alcohol has on the body, so everything might seem pale and uninteresting for a while until your brain settles back to normal.

Do you have a diagnosis of depression? Obviously, this something that is often tied up with addictions/ alcoholism, and often not drinking is not enough to improve things. I would recommend a serious talk with your doctor. You don't have to suffer like this.

125 days is a great achievement. In my experience, things do get better as the days rack up, so keep going!
