Hey all. 23 days in, and the depression is weighing on me. I know my energy and interest in activities/old hobbies will eventually come back, but today I've been struggling. Hoping you all the best.

Hi Caroline, I hope you’re feeling a bit better.
I’m curious if you’ve spoken with your doctor since getting sober? They may have some ideas of ways to help.
I can also say from experience that quitting drinking was only the beginning of recovery, and I didn’t really feel free until I began working a program with other alcoholics.
Hey Craig, thanks for your response. I'm in an IOP right now and hitting as many meetings as I can, but I haven't started working the steps yet. Hoping it helps.

I've spoken with a doctor. Trying to find a good medication regimen. I'll give it some time.
I did trazodone before bed and Wellbutrin when I woke up. Meetings and sponsor meetings and reading and re-reading. The pieces fell into place as long as I kept in the moment. Regretting my past and worrying about my future paralyzed me. So I learned to let it go little by little. Doubt grew to hope.
