Hi Carol, thanks for stopping by and commiserating with me! I am always jealous of the newbies in AA (and Freedom) who have that pink cloud. I have been dealing with chronic clinical depression since I was 7. First I did the food route, then cigarettes, then drink and drug. Been sober 16 years, also been on meds 16 years. I have an appt with my psychiatrist 1st thing Monday am. I know it's time to change meds..again. It's absolutely amazing how much of an anti-depressant smoking is. But I WILL NOT SMOKE NO MATTER WHAT. To paraphrase an AA saying, I know I have another smoke left in me, but I don't think I have another quit in me.
You mentioned feeling flat and not being able to concentrate. I'm having the same problems now, also cannot make simple decisions, like what to wear to my niece's wedding today (what fits?) I too have put on a few pounds, so I decided no more ice cream! That's always been my favorite and my weakness, but 5-6 scoops every night?
Have also finally joined the Recreation Center gym, overdid it a bit tho, burning muscles feel like I have the 'flu. Finally got back to doing my morning quiet time today and went to my Women's meeting. So that helped too. I know what to do, just have to do it! your Anglophile quit sister Suzi
