Hi, HappyDays,
Alcohol contributes significantly to depression, you may find that you feel better replacing drinking with ANYTHING- reading, spending time here on SR, seeing a movie, doing a puzzle- and then you may be more inclined to go for a walk, and that could lead to more routine exercise. No matter how little it seems, ridding your life of alcohol can have tremendous effects. Do stick around and get to know us- joining us is a winning idea. Welcome to SR.
