Hi to everyone. I have posted on this group a couple of times, but it's
been a while. I have been married to my alcoholic for 10 years and with
him for 11. We have had some really rocky times but at the moment
things are relatively peaceful, mostly due to the fact that he has no
money at the moment to buy alcohol. The reason for my post today is a
problem that has been bothering me for a while. I seem to lack
motivation to do much of anything outside of my job. Yes my job is
physical at times and does wear me out to a degree, but lately my
energy seems non-existent. I don't feel depressed, in fact I have felt
pretty good about life lately. I can't help but wonder what seems to
cause my lack of motivation? I mean even tackling minor household
chores feels exhausting. Is it common to feel this drained simply by
being in an alcoholic relationship? Is there anything that helps you to
jump start your energy when you seem to be dragging? Any ideas or
shared stories are appreciated. Thanks. Michelle
