So true, mecanix.
When the forum members with long-term sobriety told me it took time to acclimate from being a drinker to being sober, that I'd see change if I was patient, I took them at their word.
Looking back, I was naïve to think that I could drink for 35 years and expect to see vast improvements in a month, 6 months.
I waited it out and was rewarded with the recovery I have now. Too many newcomers come here expecting the same instant gratification that drinking provides. Maybe that's why so many go back to alcohol. It's quick.
Recovery is slow. But its results are longer lasting.
