Welcome Daisy. It does get better in more ways than just feeling better. You're whole outlook on life will get better.
My husband and I separated and I thought I was in control -I wasn't. So finally quit after losing my job and realized that if I sat around feeling sorry for myself I would be the failure he expected I'd be on my own. So I decided to be the best person I can be....each day. Each day, don't drink, each day get better.
I've fixed up my basement to do part time dog grooming (made $97. just today), got a new job that I love and am up for a supervisor position after just 6 weeks, my bills are paid and I can eat ice cream for supper if I want to. *smile* Life is good. It does get better...but you will have to work at it. Don't expect a certain day that everything will magickally just get better. It is like the disease...progressive...your life will progressively get better sober. Really. Welcome.
