Yes ., I seem to wonder that too.. Seems harder to come out of depression.. We have to remain focus on what’s ahead of us.

I find that if I take care of myself by using the recovery tools that are available to me, my thoughts go to what I need to do to take care of myself. I read my Big Book to see what others have done to combat that kind of stuff.
