Damn! This depression is really keeping me from going to meetings; in fact, it's keeping me from leaving the house. I know isolating makes things worse & that going to meetings gets me out of my own head, but dealing with other people requires more energy than I have these days. I should just get my butt out the door & go to a meeting, but the thought is kind of overwhelming. I don't have the urge to drink, but this isolation is making my depression worse. I consider myself a grateful recovering alcoholic because I have cheap group therapy at my disposal, but I can't get out of this rut.
