Is it with your family? Can you share with them how you are feeling at the moment? Surely they can see that this could be a difficult time for you?

I hope it goes well for you Tea.

And yes, getting out more is probably a good idea. As well as chatting with your family about how you are feeling. If there's people you can lean on a bit, then make use of them. There's no shame in depending on people sometimes.

Wen you stop drinking, you start to miss that "lift" that it gave you. You miss the energy it can somtimes give you to do something. You feel like a completely different person and wonder why you ever wanted to stop the one thing that actually helped make a difference for you, even though it only made you feel better for a few hours at a time. I do understand that. It's very hard. It's really hard to see the point in anything when you don't enjoy it.

It takes time for that enjoyment to come back. Your mind has to adjust to a different feeling and learn to enjoy that. It takes some time.

Distraction is a huge help. Is there anything you can do, anywhere you can go? Even voluteer work somewhere would be good. Something to get your mind off it and maybe get some endorphins going?

((hugs))
