Awwww very well said. I have some self healing and growing I need to do. Removing alcohol was the first step in my healing direction. I still have a long road ahead.
Thank you! I’m very thankful I came across this community. 
The good news is that you will remember the depression and one day very little by little you appreciate your own strength of getting through and truly enjoy the sober truth of living in a simple happy way!
You are special…don’t ever forget!

It gets easier Liz! Just take it one day at a time! Try and be grateful for all the blessings you do have and focus on that as opposed to the negative aspects of alcoholism and addiction!

That’s a good way to put things into prospective!
Some days are really tough, others are a bit easier, time helps to mend all wounds though! With time and a vigilant faith in this program and something bigger than yourself, you can do it!

This reminds me of when baby Professor X meets baby Mystique in X Men First Class and tells her "You never have to steal, ever again."

I hope I can get to a point in my life where I won’t have to drink again. I hope that I can find happiness in myself for a change instead of chasing it in a bottle. I was slowly killing myself at the back of the shelf. I have mental issues/past traumas that I need to deal with. I’m so ready for this new life that I want to make for myself, I’ve never wanted something so bad!
Some good comments here. This community is good maintenance for me in-between meetings...And I do vividly remember the misery I was living. Thankfully that's all it is now, just a memory..Now I get to live with the rewards that seem to just keep coming, thanks to this program. It certainly does get better, a day at a time. Hang in there Liz

I also just found this app, and I’m so grateful. I struggle a lot with loneliness and depression because I’m basically mourning an outdated version of myself. Hang in there and keep pushing!

Stay strong. When I feel lonely, it helps me to make a list of grateful son my white board. Then I look at the list for a while.
