I thought for a long time the point of sobriety was to make things better too AN... but it's not, not really.
sure it made me feel better - I've grown a lot - but it didn't make anything in my life better, it didn't solve anything.
I needed to do that work.
and thats the real meat of recovery for me - it's about working out healthy solutions to my problems, and it's about getting through those bad days and knowing they won't become bad weeks.
Hope the weekend is better for you
