This time of the year is usually the worst for me. I have a birthday coming up.. yet I haven't celebrated in many years because I can't remember the last one that wasn't a disaster. And by mid December I would be in such a depressive state that I would barely get out of bed. This year I have so much I'm working for and I'm really trying but the loneliness and detachment from others is a struggle. Conversation or occasionally hanging out with people really helps keep the mind from trying to wander back to old habits. Just lonely...

Stay with us man. Say hi every day.
I always get seasonal depression and my birthday bums me out. It’s in December. This year I’m looking forward to being sober for all of it. Try to look on the bright side 
I been trying to keep positive. I keep busy with work and trying to get back into things I enjoy. But people still need interaction with others from time to time...
I understand. I guess maybe you could try to meet people at meetings. That’s what I do.
