On day 17 and still feeling depressed so that’s disheartening. I know it takes time but figured no alcohol or muscle relaxers or drunken connections….would make me feel less depressed, More focused or at least somewhat happy. Now I just feel depressed and can’t numb it. I have my first appointment with a psychiatrist today and hoping something will click or help on that route. Idk

Very normal, and glad to hear you are seeing someone. If you trust them, follow their instructions. I’m 2+ years in and realize I used to not be depressed. So depression is a natural part of sobriety for me, so, what next? Do what you are, see a professional (or 2 or 3 to find the right one). If they recommend meds, consider it. If nothing else to get over the hump. What’s helped me most is the fellowship, not the steps, or sponsor. The group. Find one that works for you.

It takes a while for your brain to recover and get used to no substances, but it's worth it!

You have to rewire your brain. I know it doesn’t seem like it now but it will happen. Keep your head up.
