I think the thing I've learned about sobriety is it didn't solve all my problems...but it puts me in a much better position for me to solve my problems, if I want.
Anna's right: it takes patience.
I think it's a pretty good cosmic joke - most of us spent our lives wanting things NOW...recovery's about learning to wait and being grateful with what we have right now a lot of the time.
If you're like me, you drank for years - we don't recover from that in a month, Sunset - it's just not the way it works.
I'm much closer to the man I always wanted to be now - but it took time.
It will happen - if you stay committed to recovery
