    Rainbow,

    Things will remain the same unless you (with our support) change something. 

    That change doesn't have to be anything big.  Just something small - just something minor that you can change today.  Small changes add up!

    What can you think of that YOU can do different today?

    And what can we do to support you?

      Thanks Joanna 

      I've made a big first change and arranged my first ever AA meeting tomorrow smile 

      Another change is to start swimming again 

      Another change is to cook at lunchtime when Im at home and not working to avoid drinking while cooking 

      Another is to tell a friend where I am going tomorrow night and accepting her support ! 

      Thanks for that Joanna ! That is of great support smile 

      xx

      Hi rainbow,

      You sound much better now than you did in your first post. I'm replying because you said you'd arranged your first ever A.A. meeting.

      Well, it worked for me for a very long time now, a very long time. 

      Best wishes.

      Hi rainbow,

      you sound much more positive than you did in your first post. Well done.

      Personally, I'm happy to hear about anyone who even just tries A.A. It has worked for me for more than 20 years.

      I'm happy you don't sound as sad.smile

      Whatever route you eventually take, best wishes and good luck.

    Hi rainbow - I hear that you are sad and there may be many reasons for that - but you do know that the booze only makes you more sad.  Do you have someone to talk to about the underlying sadness?

      HI Rainbow. All the best to a new day for you today!! AA and any other activity which keeps you away from drinking is good and waking up without a hangover and more money in your pocket must be a good thing! Robin

    rainbow...are you on any antidepressents?  How much do you drink?

    Drinking causes sadness, depression and anxiety...and its not a good idea to take any medication with drinking. 

    Sadness...is a key symptom of depression.

    Alcohol worsens depression.

    I have days where I am sad...but if I were SAD everyday I would go nuts.

    Do you like to read?  Sometimes reading for me takes me into a different world.

    How about Facebook?  Sometimes I find topics (like you could type in Depression on the search tab) and find topics to discuss and let out some of your sadness or identify with people that feel "sad" too.

    Keep posting...we are here for you.....no matter what your "sadness" is about.

    I have a sister that is SAD all the time...it helps her to get out of the house.  I try to pick her up a couple times a week.  Do you get out much?  Getting out is a distraction from the sadness.
