Hello,
You're doing grand so far. As for replying here, that's fine. You start a new thread when you want to talk about a new subject. Only thing slightly wrong here is that you haven't got a Personal Issue. This forum is kind of like an Agony Aunt column I suppose. There are different forums for diferent subjects. Have a look around to see which ones you like. The handiest forum for you right now would probably be the Newbie FAQ forum. Just click this link to go to Newbie FAQ --> http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?forumid=98
Hope this helps,
Puck.

ok i've been thinking of coy and witty things to say, but i came here for a reason so here goes. a good friend of mine just told me about this site after i interrupted his dinner with a desperate phonecall about how generally pissed off and lonely / depressed i've been feeling lately. i quit drinking a few years ago and since then have been finding it difficult adjusting to life in the sober lane. i've had counselling and am still seeing my counseller fairly regularly. self esteem / confidence / optimism not the best lately (never have been really). i'm tired of isolating myself from life - my friends have all told me that i'm wasting myself because i'm a good person and need to give myself a break and get out there and live

A line from Tennesee William's "The Glass Menagerie" pretty much sums up where i'm at :

"People go to the movies instead of moving…I don't want to wait...I'm tired of the movies and I am about to move"

I didn't think i'd be able to say this stuff to strangers but reading some of the other stuff on this forum i guess i'm not alone.

well josh, sounds to me like you are being way too hard on yourself, if you have quit drinking years ago and have managed to keep off it, then you deserve a pat on the back. I understand you are having difficults doing it, but the fact that you have, means your will power is stronger than you give yourself credit for.

welcome to boards, chin up and sometimes it's much easier to talk to strangers than friends, no come back!
