A Billion dollars won't help, it will only complicate matters more. The problem with most addicts/alcoholics, myself included is the threads of the disease go beyond the chemical. It saturates our mindset as nogard is pointing out. Sobriety is the first step towards recovery but recovery goes much much deeper.

For decades I sought happiness outside of myself when the whole time it was inside. Jeaslously is a manifestation of not being content and part of our shared malady.

Are you in therapy or working some type of program more than just abstaining from the drink? If not, my view is we are then just in between quits till we don't have more quits.

Good luck and tomorrow is another day. Congrats on the three weeks of sobriety.
