Odds are, you are sitting there right now thinking "if only I could __________"... you can fill in the blank with anything, and more times than not, it will be something you have no control over. We all want instant gratification because that's all we've conditioned ourself for... but this is one undertaking that will not work that way... baby steps...
If it is employment... consider that humility can be your friend. In other words, if you have no job, then SOME job is better... it might not be your past job or your dream job, but if it solves your unemployment issue, it is a good job.
Recovery won't work like a prescription that you take for a few days or weeks, until the infection is cleared up... Recovery is learning to live life on life's terms. Deciding that you want a clear head, and accepting that it will require more of you than you've ever been willing to give to anyone or anything, and doing what it takes for you... minute by minute, day by day. BUT YOU are worth it...
Don't fool yourself into thinking that you'll be good for a while, win back your woman, and let some water run under the bridge, and then life will resume as imagined... Keep it real, work on YOU... and the rest will take care of itself... in time.
