I didn’t expect sobriety to fix everything, but I’m more than ever faced with the fact that I just don’t like life all that much. And to get it out of the way, I’m in no immediate harm to myself right now, but I feel very indifferent about carrying on. In sobriety I’ve experienced great stability, and great instability, with neither feeling right. My medications are the best they’ve ever been and I’m still not finding answers to why this is all worth it.

That’s incorrect and dangerous to be saying. Please stop

who was the one who said meds cause mental illness? bc that’s just plain wrong. the wrong medications may worsen symptoms but rarely do they CAUSE a new illness. i’m bipolar and i would likely not be alive without my medications, and saying something like that when you don’t know a persons situation well is dangerous. as for OP i’d tell you that you’ve got the foundations down which is good but it sounds like you need to find something to give your time some meaning. i mean i don’t think anyones hobby would be sobriety, it’s just a passive state of life. you’ve got the clean slate but you shouldn’t leave the canvas blank forever.

So being sober will allow you to look at yourself and deal with yourself in the most transparent and ultimately productive way possible. Mental health meds are totally cool and controlled by a doctor and are entirely different than street drugs and alcohol. You should feel a sense of accomplishment that you have the sobriety part down. BUT you didn't really say in your post, but I would suspect you are just a dry drunk. The reason the 12 steps work is because they provode guidance towards having a Spiritual Experience. Additionally, your life will improve because of the tangeable work you do in the program with yourself and how you relate to those around you. That coupled with all the community and friends around you will enlighten you further. That is a suggestion for you. Keep up the work with therapy too and with all that said, your will get there. I promise.

You are showing a lot here and we know that is not cool to say to another one of our people struggling with recovery and searching for happiness.

I'm sorry to anyone I hurt or offended. I didn't mean too. I really was asking a question. I'll ask my physic or my primary Dr. Please forgive me. This is my first time to ever post. I'm going to an outpatient program right now and they suggest these different apps to me. I feel like a couple of people bit my head off. I am truly sorry.
