I`m 66 in April, trying to rebuild life after alcoholism. Having therapy for Depression`n`Anxiety.

I have no words of wisdom. I have no words of inspiration. I am still here because I believe there is a purpose for each life. I will do my level best to try to stay long enough to accomplish that purpose. Even though I long to leave. I will do my very best to stay
Hi, been in recovery since November 2007, will reach 5 years sober on April 20th this year - bumpy journey, but worth it. Now seeing therapist to sort out mental issues, that is proving difficult, but got to keep trying.
Therapy is difficult and painful. I'm wondering about trying again. That you could battle alcoholism and now tackle therapy is encouraging for me. My life long habits of coping alone and ' putting on a show" that works only too well are things I'm trying not to do on here.

Great job!
Was the oldest "newbie" in my local AA rooms at 60, but you can teach an old dawg new tricks! Wish I`d been given therapy before anti depressants when first diagnosed back in 1975 - Diazapam was NOT a good idea, took me a year to get off them.... Anyway, onwards`n`upwards I guess!
yes. As difficult as it is, at least when we are working on things it gives one constructive momentum to life. So its great that you keep trying.

I'm 56, single, live alone except for a great cat. I have a couple of friends, but don't get together much. Family is far away, and again not a lot of contact. I feel horribly lonely most of the time. Anxiety, depression and now some physical ailments are seriously curtailing my activity, which is making things even worse. I'm starting to wonder how much longer I can do this. It's like I don't want to wake up in the morning. It's really hard to take.
Hello Bill, this is a rarely visited part of SF. There are quite a lot of us 55+ around. I can relate to a lot of what you write. I was desperate when I first found this site and much worse when I really started using it. Since then I've restarted therapy after a twenty yr gap and today go to my first meeting of a self help group. It's bloody hard but using this site has helped me. Good luck.
Is it so small a thing? To have laughed in the sun, to have loved, to have thought, to have done.
