Some know me well, some don't. But, hopefully everyone can help here...

Some know that i have battled the bottle, lost on occasion, and winning right now.

But, it has messed me up i think. I am always an open person and try to help everyone. But, right now, i don't want anyone around me. I'm closing up and trying to just be bymyself. All i do is come home from work, do what i have to do around the house and stay in my room, just mess around on here or watch t.v. I have forgotten what it was like to live life to the fullest.

I miss my friends, but i don't want to see them. I talk on here every once in awhile...but i don't really get into it like i use to.

Hell, im not depressed i just don't know what the hell to do tomorrow. I guess i don't have anything to look forward too anymore. I use to feel like i wanted someone so bad...but now i don't really care.

What the heck .... is my problem...sigh

You are depressed but you just don't realize it...Find new ways of having fun that don't include drinking and new friends if you must...BUT don't sink into isolation it leads to despair and is not a place you want to go...If neccesary MAKE yourself get out of the house even for just a little while...You will feel much better trust me!!!!!!!!

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!hug hug wave

Stew....hang in there buddy...

from what ive heard....people that give up drinking feel that theyve lost their best friend...

give yourself time to go through the processes ....and you do have better times ahead..

in the meantime come here as much as you can....

baby steps my friend...one day at a time.....

kiss hug

That sounds very familiar. I think I'm in the same place, just reconnected with Stacey and she's in the same place.

It's got to be the party, man, that was called off and we all got depressed.laugh

Maybe a hobby or take a class on something you like, you need to take up your new time with something else.

When I feel that way I make it a point to go out to town and walk, go to a diner and maybe have a nice conversation with a fellow patron, go to a park and enjoy the greenery... You may still feel depressed but when you get home, you'll feel a little better.

Also, try exercising, it helps, believe me! comfort

I don't know if you went to AA and were given the name of a phone buddy you could call for support , but that would help. Usually talking to someone who's been through the same ordeal helps. Also, I would find something that interests you and do it, join the gym, art, music. Life is what YOU make it. You are in control. Best wishes to ya! hug

As humans I think all of us are born with the need to share our lives with someone. The fulfillment of this need can be the cause of constant concern and occasional pain. Their are times we may reach out and offer that which we have to give to someone who has no need, and/or does not recognize the value of what we are offering.. and this type of rejection causes pain.. So we shut ourselves off..
But then someone comes along who has a need for, and recognizes the value of what we have to give.. To that person we represent the possibility of an end to lonely nights.. of dreams come true.. a chance for happiness.. But because the memory of rejection, or things that have gone wrong and caused so much pain, we no longer reach out for it. So we must remember that this need within can not be fulfilled by one person reaching.. It can only be fulfilled when two are willing to meet halfway.


**stepping off soapbox***

Don't give up...

You have made the most important step of this process...admiting that something is wrong. And yes, you sound as though you are falling into a depression. It is normal, actually, for those whom have had drinking problems and are trying to over come them. Honestly, it would be a great help to you if you can find an organization or a counsleor to talk to. You need somebody....it is quite important that you discuss your thoughts openly with somebody and get some insight as to what it is your are going through.

There are a great many people out there who care.....all you have to do is ask....hug
