I think sugar bear is correct. I find that the things that change quickly have less permanence than the things that more gradually take shape. You are dealing with a problem that has been around for some years. To expect all difficulties from it to disappear in days or weeks is unrealistic.

In my experience early sobriety is fragile. It's more prone to reverse back into what it was before (drinking). For most of us alcohol became a huge part of our lives. So, early sobriety can be quite chaotic as we attempt to fill the void left by our drinking. That void is best filled by a program such as AA or AVRT. It’s easier to walk a path successfully taken by others than to attempt to hack your way through the forest by yourself.
