Sobriety is difficult in part because it forces us to confront the things we were hiding from. At least in my case the bottle was the place I hid from my life. Now, sober, I am forced to deal with my life for the first time in many, many years...maybe the first time ever. That's difficult at times, but on some level it's exhilarating, too. Or it can be eventually.
Remember the old saying, "when you're going through hell- keep going!" There honestly is hope on the other side (with apologies for how cheesy that must sound).
