Yes,the bad feelings do ease. Over time you will learn to forgive yourself. I wake in the mornings with peace of mind. I have no shame over what I did or said the night before.That,for me, is the greatest benefit of sobriety (amongst many others
)
I've also learnt about the importance of 'now'. When drinking I was worried about thepast, anxious about the future and thinking about my next drink. I've learned to appreciate today and enjoy life now. This can be you
