As to the 'not feeling it', I strongly suggest practicing gratitude every day. Being grateful makes me happy and more positive. Give it a try.

hey press - sorry you're feeling down.
being down and depressed and not doing anything about it is pretty dangerous for people like us..
Have you seen a doctor - or at least considered it?
Maybe posting here, and posting to others to help, regularly could help too?

I can relate somewhat. I fell off the wagon at about 11 months, and I do remember feeling like, "What's the point?" It's like you forget how much worse things were when you were drinking.
If I were you, I'd go back to meetings or do whatever keeps you from taking that first sip. There's very little "excitement." You just end up being a pathetic drunk again and feeling bad. I seem to have a hard time learning from my mistakes, but maybe you can.
