Welcome justbreathe!

Congratulations on your 3 months - that's fantastic!

I think it can be hard for us to be patient sometimes (!)..... I drank for years and when I finally decided to get sober, I wanted it all over and done with right then! Someone here reminded me that it's a process and that helped me look at it differently.

One thing I'm working on is trying to stay in the moment (instead of carrying everything around in my head all the time). Making taking a little pressure off yourself would help, too.

When all else fails, there are 2 sure-fire ways of feeling better: finding something to be grateful for, and helping someone else.

Glad you've decided to join us!!
