2. Just remember that that you are not alone.

Since you do have some online ability I would suggest looking up on the web the address for your local intergroup web site and look for online meetings. I just went to a meeting with my old NJ home group - 15 years after moving out of the area. It was so uplifting to be at a meeting and the added bonus of seeing old faces.

I do not know how connected you are to the program (Home group, sponsor, etc) but seeing as how you posted here, you are reaching out and that is GOOD.

Put a cork into that wine bottle. Remember that alcohol is a depressant. If you're feeling depressed without it, it is only going to exacerbate that awful feeling of dread.
