Need help...
I'm anxious, lonely, depressed. It's been raining for almost 15 days I think. I'm miserable and downright unhappy these past few days.
I'm going to meetings everyday, talking to people, calling my sponsor, going to a weekly step meeting, not picking up, praying, everything that I can possibly freaking do at this present moment.
What else can I possibly do?
Thanks
Anna

You are doing precisely what you should be doing...how long ar you doing this (well done) and how long are you feeling sh*t? Know one thing for sure, if you continue doing what you are doing not only will it get better...you will MARVEL at how amazing things are going to turn out...just not our own timetbale.
Remember the promises....
The AA Promises
If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through.
We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.
We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.
We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.
No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others.
That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear.
We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.
Self-seeking will slip away.
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.
Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us.
We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us.
We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
Are these extravagant promises? We think not.
They are being fulfilled among us - sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.
They will always materialize if we work for them.

Hi Anna,
I live north of you in Canada, but I think it's been raining here for 15 days too!
I find that getting outside of myself and doing something for someone else always helps me to feel better.
Love, Anna

Thank you all...
I spoke to a fellow today and he made me realize that maybe I needed to be angry, sad, and lonely for a few days and I just had to accept that. God has a reason for everything; though I may not know it.
I did eventually "snap" out of it later after some gym time, tanning (light!), and a meeting...
Thanks for your support!
