Dear TakeHeart,
You are not alone, we have all been there on numerous occasions. Don't look back as you cannot undo the past. The combination of alcohol and depression is a murderous downward spiral and one doesn't even remember what came first - the Al or the depression.

You have already been given really good advise by people who all have been there.

I just wanted to ad my two pennies worth. I remember vividly that after weeks of severe depression, when I couldn't or wouldn't do anything, I put on my coat, my sunglasses and an old hat and started walking. The first day I walked for over an hour and the physical and psychological change was simply remarkable and instantaneous. Once I got home nothing else had changed, but I felt so much better. After that I walked everyday, sometimes even twice. This is how I somehow broke the cycle. I read later, that exercise floods ones system with endorphins which have a huge influence on our outlook on everything.
I just wanted to share this with you, as it might be worth a try and it does not cost anything.
I will be thinking about you and let us know how you are doing.
Hugs,
Lori

Takeheart I only just saw this .........

Hart is right you are no longer alone, there is always someone here 24/7 ......

Unfortunately alcohol causes depression, then we drink to feel better, it works for a short time but then we go back down again ........

You can do this .......

Please, please, please reach out here when you need someone ........

Love & Hugs, BB xx

Take,
You will find that you are not alone. You just described many of us!!!! Maybe some of us are more severe than others but to some degree we can all relate to you. I can certainly relate to where you are. I have been there!!!! I used to drink until I passed out, wake-up drinking again until passing out, what a miserable life. The anti-depressants are not getting a chance to work if you are drinking. I know this to from personal experience. What a horrid cycle. You can get better. Try to get an AF day in. Then 2 days in, then 3. take it one day at a time. start drinking some water. That happy person is in there!!!

Its a lot of work to pull up yourself but it can be done. AA has many people willing to help you. There are people at meeting who give rides, a place to live, support and there are services out there to get counseling. I passed up yesterday lunch with my man to take a woman home. He said i couldn't believe you did that to me. Oh well if someone like myself is trying to better their life than I will help out. Its all part of AA helping others in the same situation. There is AA...go get it.

Luv to all~

I care.
