So I was on here a few days ago. Only 5 days sober. Few days ago I was wondering when the depression ends. Your comments were all so true and encouraging. I did end up getting up finally - back to work yesterday. It’s weird how your brain gets you through and then it sneaks up on you saying how much better you feel etc etc you can handle light drinking because you never want to feel that way again, that it will be okay. When I know dang well 2 days ago I was miserably depressed and barely moved for 4 days. And wanted nothing to do with it again, it’s so crazy!

@Bluekoolaid I’m coming up for Day 5 in a few hours and I know you’re right. I’ve found my sobriety journey very challenging but yesterday (Wednesday - I’m in Ireland) was particularly challenging. I literally thought, "To hell with it, I’m going to buy a bottle " Of course I didn’t. I’ve been spending a lot of time here and I feel a kinship here that I don’t even feel with friends because they just don’t “get it”. Thanks for sharing. I needed to read that. Take care. Cheers

I was just thinking that after I wrote that! How I’m going to have to check in here often because like you said ppl on the outside just don’t get it.
