if you are a recovering alcoholic, are you going to the aa meetings.
i had a friend that went to meetings 10 years after being clean. he made life long friends that could relate to him.
you probably been through so much in your life.
you may have to see a therapist. i always was depressed, and it was getting so bad where i had to see a therapist, and take medication.
i've been through so much that now when i get upset i get panic attacks. i have to stay positive and tell myself everything is going to be okay.
