merry,
I remember feeling like that too but instead I chose to stick around & find a new path for myself. One without AL, without shame & guilt.

Go back to the Tool box, make a new plan for yourself. We will be here for support & please PM me if you like :l

merry, I know exactly how that feels. I hope this morning finds you feeling a bit better. We just need to keep putting one foot in front of the other, and have faith that a life without AL will bring much better results than our old life with AL. :l

I just feel dead in side and all alone I can't get my self interested in doing anything I know it's self pity but I can't shake it

merry,
You are exhibiting the classic signs of depression.
AL only serves to make it much worse.
Can you go see a doc & discuss possible treatment options?

Merry definitely - i agree I suffer from depression and that sounds all too familiar -- alcohol is a depressant as well. be nice to yourself - bubble baths, deep breathing help me and doing i small thing - washing up/1 load of washing.It then becomes easier to do more/you want to do more.
Exercise helps too - even a 10 minute walk outside - take care - and you won't always feel that way.:l

Merry, I second the advice about seeing a doctor just in case some meds are in order. I also urge you to get up and get out of the house - even if it's only for a walk. Some days I just want to crawl under the covers and hide there. When I feel like that, I know DOING that will only make it worse. I have to get up and out and get some fresh air and exercise.

The problems we create with our drinking don't go away overnight. But they do go away eventually if we stay sober, and if we work a plan to get well and behave differently today. TODAY I can make the choice to be the best person I can possibly be. That is all.
