I do have a couple friends I can confide in, which is lucky.
I'm pretty sure I have depression due to job loss; lately I've been feeling worse (no energy/appetite) and decided this morning (after glass of wine & beer!!) that not only is my drinking not solving anything, but I can't afford it! In fact, I feel guilty that I've spent so much money on booze while not working - kind of a vicious circle. I feel bad or sad, then drink, then feel bad that I spent the money and drank useless calories that keep me from eating right... etc. etc.
I know I have things to be thankful for and dislike myself when I indulge in pity party!
It seems hard to think I'll feel better by giving up drinking, but I know it's the right thing to do. I'm hoping I won't go thru withdrawals!
Anyway, just a post to get me started. Thanks for any input!
