Hang in there! Eventually in sobriety the understanding hits us like a ton of bricks- simply being sober isn't all there is! There are still problems, challenges and tribulations, and sometimes life still sucks. But life is often only possible, even the sucky stuff, when we're sober. There's not one problem life has thrown at me that I can honestly say would have been better handled if I was still drunk.
Sometimes I think the hardest thing about sobriety is that it strips away all my best excuses.
