I know that I can’t be the only one.. I don’t even really know what I enjoy anymore.. I do the same things day in and day out.. I don’t even feel like I’m living anymore.. just existing.. like a robot. When I was drinking I had “friends” I was the life of the party.. now I have two friends with their own lives.. my kids are teenagers doing their own things and then it’s just me.. alone.. with mental health issues on top of it making it hard to get out and socialize.. I feel like I’m at the end of my rope.

hey sarah my name is peter and i am an alcoholic
i felt the same way before i went to my first aa meeting
that was september 3rd 1991, i finally could identify what i was and there was hope for me , i went to my second aa meeting september 10th 1991, i have not picked up a drink since then 
, aa saved my life
it also changed it 180’ for the better, all i can share is my experience strength and hope and that it does work and it does get better

I wish u well - i just know being sober has been elusive for me so would gladly be a robot to get over hump - be patient and follow the popcorn trail - think we get hints all the time on which way to go even small stuff - just need ti be aware
Took me a long time to figure out what I liked again. But after getting out of my shell and going to meetings and getting to know new ppl. I found out that I like a lot of things. After getting sober I finally started doing all the things I always said I was going to do. For instance kayaking, I went a couple years ago for the first time and now I have my own and you can’t keep me off the water. Try new things get out of your shell!
I can relate to this feeling. I try to push myself to meetings but I work out of town, making it difficult to do
