Lots of helpful insight already.......

When we get sober, we're facing ourselves and all our emotions, maybe for the first time ever, where our usual response would be to run away or look for a replacement fix.

Learning how to be happy inside takes time and we need to figure out how to do that without depending on something outside ourselves. Your feelings are there for a reason. What are they telling you? What is lacking in your life?

Look at this time of early sobriety like you're in training to be the best you can be. I don't think you'll regret it and it will pay off in all your relationships in the future.
