I am thinking almost all my depression and anxiety came from binging.

We assume that our mental health issues such as anxiety or depression are separate from our alcohol consumption. The simple fact is that consumption of alcohol can cause both!

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Man I have been in a brain fog all day. Wonder if my head is healing. I can tell I feel like my body is cleaning itself out. Wish I had done this sobriety thing years earlier.

Congrats on the 2 weeks--I'm glad to hear things are finally starting to get better.
Hang tough and don't get complacent as it gets easier.
I'm only a few days ahead of you and I'm still waiting for the brain fog to fully lift, but I'm sure if we stay sober it will.

I took a walk, feel a little better. I still have so much work to do. The loneliness thing hurts the most, that is what drove me out to drink before. Today I went to a coffee shop but I don't feel comfortable just walking up to some girl and asking her out. But hell I'm 28 years old I have to learn sometime. I never even went on a date before! I just hooked up with a girl, dated her for a long time. Stupid. So lonely and no self worth, just hang with anyone who stoops to be with me. Really have to work on caring about myself and considering myself a person worthy of happiness or at least companionship. But I can't do that when I hate myself.

The beauty of this--is that you are only 28! You have your whole life to improve at the dating scene and it will be much easier if you are sober--not many women really want to hang with a drunk. Use your sobriety to your advantage as many women your age have already been burned by men with alcohol and drug problems.
