Nothing good happened and everything got worse with the passage of time while I was drinking. I will never be refunded all the horrific years I wasted by drinking. We can get back many things in sobriety and embark on new and exciting ventures, but lost time is not something we can ever get back.
Following my three-year relapse, my early days in sobriety were absolutely miserable. With hard work, a commitment to staying sober no matter what, and a leap of faith that there was a better way for me, life began changing very much for the better. All those things can only happen in time.
If you're still complaining about the same things after, say, a year of sobriety that you complained about in, say, your first ninety days, then something different must be done.
