Terri, You have many people here who can relate to what you're feeling. For starters, you need to understand that those 60 days of sobriety were not wasted days. Now you need to build on them one day at a time. Don't worry about next year, month, or even next week. Focus on how to maintain your sobriety today. Find another outlet whether it's exercise, reading, a hobby or even just sleeping better. Listen to the people on these boards who have way more experience with sobriety than I do. And post often.

A sober life doesn't mean a life without hardship, challenges, and pain. But it's always better than a life blurred with alcohol. Remember, there are no problems that drinking cannot make worse.
