Hi Dave
What sort of support group are you seeking? Have you gone to AA or NA in the past? I commend you on stopping drinking and for your days free from marijuana. It sounds like you are on the right path but still struggling.
Is there any particular incident which is triggering your depression? Do you have any supports?
What support can we give to you now?
I am really sorry you are going through this bad time. You will have to take this one day at a time...maybe one minute at a time. But you will survive this.
Please keep writing...let us know more details about what is going on in your life. We are here to listen.
