I am almost 7 months sober, have wonderful children, a job, the fellowship of AA, a roof over my head but yet I'm sad and I just can't seem to shake it sometimes like today. I'm trying to find different things to do. In fact I'm fostering a puppy right now but just have that feeling of sadness around me. Does anyone else deal with this?

I do suffer from depression but take medication. I guess I just need to work through it. I definitely won't drink over it.

I think some days we are just blue. I've learned to deal with them, accepting them as a normal, though unfrequent, part of life. Sadness gives me a gage against which I can measure my happiness.

Congratulations. have you considered that you are in part grieving the loss of what had been a friend that turned into an enemy? that and a bunch of subsurface things that eventually surfaced then worked on. A VG sponsor helped me immensely. BE WELL

Have you considered counseling to have someone to talk with? I see a counselor and it's a tremendous help in all areas of my life.

Thanks everyone. This too shall pass I'm sure. It's living life on life's terms. I almost have another 24 hours of sobriety under my belt and that makes me happy.
