Dear LL

You are right where you should be, and you are, believe it or not, doing all the right things. Keep going to meetings, keep not drinking, keep sharing what you're going through and keep the faith.

roller coaster of emotions is par for the course in early sobriety because the medication for our emotions has been removed.

It DOES get smoother, but often it is difficult like this in the beginning.

I'm glad you are here!
