Good day so far. I do not really want to work today but do not want to skip either.I have let my world get very small and that really concerns me. It feels like less accountability and stress but I also start thinking I could fall off the face of the earth and would not be noticed.I have been very social really for my whole adult life.So at the beginning of the day I need to consciously choose an attitude and go with it . Left to my own devices I would go through the day with a negative outlook and not even be conscious of it.Since I am a recovering alcoholic I need to live a certain way and be more conscious than most, because the consequences are greater than most.I am also struggling with a new addiction that has nothing to do with drugs or alcohol.Because I am in recovery I feel alot of shame for getting into a new addiction.Also fear of this new addiction.Thats enough for now.

I\'m glad you\'re having a good day so far! That\'s a very positive thought. I know how hard it is to stay positive when the negative thoughts come so easy. I agree with your concern about your world becoming very small and I sincerely hope that you can find a solution. I think a lot of us with depression tend to let this happen but it\'s important to make ourselves accountable to someone every day. Please try to find someone who is willing to be a part of your everyday world. I\'m certainly willing to be here for you online with daily messages, but I know that\'s not enough. You need someone to talk to every day, in person or on the phone. Hopefully someone who can encourage you to live outside your world a little at a time. I hope your day, and the rest of the week continue to be wonderful. Take care & stay strong!
