Hey everybody,

I don't know if I'm writing in the right forum,and maybe my topic will be moved, so please bare with me.

I'm having trouble figuring out where my life is headed. I'm 37 and feel lack a sense of meaning. Religion used to fill that void, but it's lately only caused alot more harm than good. I've been sober in AA, which is a spiritual program and not a religious program, for going on 9 years. I obviously have alot of mental health issues, but i don't think those are causing my existential problems.

I've been helping out others with sobriety for the past 6 weeks, and I know helping others is a big part of finding meaning. But I still feel a big sense of emptiness. Let me know what you think.
