I haven't been to a meeting in a few weeks, nor have I been answering the phone. I know both of these things are counter-productive, but I'm in this unhealthy comfort zone right now. I don't worry about having the urge to drink, & I know I'll return to AA meetings eventually, but this is a frustrating time.
Lol, oh yes summer here. Seasonal depression sucks. Maybe go for 20 minute walks. When I am isolating I force myself to go into a store or the library. It makes me feel a little better when I get back. Hope your depression lifts.
