I'll take feeling down and sober over being down and drunk any day. Stay strong, it will pass.

I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well, bill. I had issues with depression and anxiety too. I went to my doctor and told her what was going on and she was able to help me.

Hi. I needed to recognize that all the alcohol I consumed was not a health drink and was detrimental in cell and emotional development. I hated to hear that recovery takes time and is helped with the amount of work we put into it. I needed many meetings, self honesty and becoming very active for a non social person. Bottom line it works if we work it! Long term recovery is a great goal. Keep coming.

BE WELL

Despite what I thought, I'm told that alcohol is not medicinal. I too suffer from depression. Apparently it runs in my family. I believe it can take quite some time after stopping to have it pass. If it doesn't pass see a doctor. The weather here in the midwest has not been conducive to a bright outlook. I send you positive thoughts from one downer to another!

Yes, fight the urge and the AV. They will pass. SR is here for you, too.

Hang in there I wasted six years and have not been able to stop. It is not worth it. Think of a clear mind and also think of how crappy your body felt after a bout with the champ (aka booze/dope )

Emotional ups and downs are very common in early sobriety. Be patient. It will pass.
