First off Laura your gunna do this! Hang in there There…. I tried AA and it worked for a second, then I found SMART. It’s not the end all save all- I never found that 1 thing- they have a little different spin.
I have bad days and get depressed but I go to AA and I stay busy.. I have my animals and friends/family I stay busy helping out.. I very seldom have time to think about myself.. and my problems.. I find if I think too much about them I do get very depressed..
Yes!!! I AM NOT DEPRESSED EVERYDAY!!!! Geez! I thought this app was to help not to have all this negative bull mess with people like @jake141371 trying to create a narrative that’s not even true!!!! Get up & off my page dude. Sometimes people feel lonely. Duh. Does NOT mean that it’s everyday!!!! Some folks just would like someone to chat with. I don’t need your junk! Dude….
Have you been to a Celebrate Recovery? You can download there app it type in your zip code and it will show meetings in your area. I love it. I did AA for a for awhile and realized I needed more than the same thing over and over(that's how it felt to me) that's when I found Celebrate Recovery. Check it out if you get a chance.
Also when the break up into groups. They are divided into men's and women's groups which I think for both is extremely helpful. Loneliness is hard or not having that constant friend. I get that. The feeling might not hit every day but when it does it's like a train. Will be praying.
