How to Cope with Depression During Addiction Recovery
Depression and addiction recovery frequently collide. For many people, depressive symptoms don't disappear when they get sober — they become more visible. The substances that once masked painful emotions are gone, and the emotional weight underneath them can feel suddenly overwhelming. Knowing why this happens, and what to do about it, is one of the most important things a person in recovery can learn. This guide is written specifically for people who are in recovery from substance use and are experiencing depression. It covers the unique reasons depression surfaces during recovery, how it increases relapse risk, and the coping strategies that work best within a recovery context.

Antidepressants for Breastfeeding: Nursing Safety When Substance Use Is a Concern
Breastfeeding can support bonding and infant nutrition. It can also raise hard questions when you need mental health treatment. If you are taking an antidepressant or thinking about starting one, you may wonder if it is safe to keep nursing. This pillar page explains what we know about antidepressants for breastfeeding, what “safe” means in real-life care, and how to lower risk for your baby. It also covers an extra layer that matters in recovery: how alcohol or drug use can change safety for both you and your infant. This information is educational. It cannot replace care from your OB-GYN, prescriber, pediatrician, or a lactation clinician.

Day 10 With No Alcohol: What to Expect Physically and Emotionally (and When to Get Help)
Day 10 with no alcohol is a big milestone. You are far enough from your last drink to notice real changes, yet close enough that withdrawal and cravings may still feel intense. For some people, day 10 feels amazing. For others, it feels like “I made it this far, but I’m exhausted and still want to drink.” Both experiences are common. What you feel today depends on how much and how often you drank, your overall health, and whether your detox was medically supervised. If you stopped heavy daily drinking on your own, day 10 can still feel rough and even risky. If you completed a supervised detox and are now in rehab or outpatient care, you may be more stable but still emotionally raw.

Looking for a Place to Happen - Seeking Sober Spaces
I've been on a lot of beer runs in the last 35 years, maybe just to the Beer Store in the beginning, but after 2015 we stepped it up in a big way, culminating in cross province, week long jaunts that left my fridge bulging and my glass overflowing with the new and interesting things Ontario had to offer. We've done multi day road trips, driving hundreds of kilometers in search of pints to explore and met countless people like ourselves along the way. Sometimes it was just popping into one of the nearby breweries for a bite and a beer, the simple pleasure of belonging to a community that supports the hopes and dreams of local small businesses and hoping to do our small part to help spread the good word. I love a solid beer run and this last weekend was perhaps the worst, most depressing one I've ever taken and it illustrates a real problem the sober or non-alcoholic beer world has when it comes to helping folks crossover or drink a little less if that's what they're after.

What would you miss? Sober in Craft Beer...
What do you think you'd miss? If they told you that you could never drink again or if you choose to give it up, for whatever reasons you have. What would you miss the most about craft beer in particular? Besides the warm and fuzzy feeling the alcohol gives you, what things do you think would disappear from your life that would leave a gap where your happy place used to be. I have given this a lot of thought since September, obviously my own circumstance and subsequent sober(ish) life caused me to make some radical lifestyle changes that remain ongoing and with various degrees of success. I haven't really been an active participant in a lot of beer events or even going out for a beer with someone in a couple of years, but I did begin to wonder what it would be like for someone who was more involved, more socially connected to the community and all it entails. When I first came back to social media in December, I was overwhelmed with comments and messages, muc

I Drink Alone
Is that a weird way to open a blog post? Admitting that I drink alone? Well, it is the truth and I wanted to write about my life more this year, even if it seems a little uncomfortable or difficult. My greatest success and growth has come from laying it all out for the world to see and releasing whatever is inside me that tries to bring me down into the darkness again, silence is my own worst enemy. I think what I mean to say, without trying to downplay my lack of a social life outside my going to work or online, is that I enjoy my own company when I want to relax. After almost 4 decades in working retail, food service and general public facing jobs, I do feel worn down just a tad, the last 4 years have proven even more difficult with the rise of the selfish class, a special breed of hell mongers all their own. It has bled into almost every part of my day, the inward facing, sole spotlight seekers, to whom everyone must revolve for their existenc
