It doesn't change overnight. I know for me, I want results and I want them yesterday. Alcohol was instant gratification, so was using drugs. Sobriety is very tough for people who want results since there is not instant gratification. There is work involved, and then results will come later. I think for me at least, this is the hardest aspect of sobriety. I am hoping and counting on the fact that this work will pay off. Just because I stopped drinking doesn't mean everything all of the sudden gets better.


Do you have any sober friends?
