Well it won't take years to get some of the clarity back but it does take time.
In my case I started drinking young and I don't think I ever had it to begin with. I see through new eyes, with a new mind and a new heart.
I know I am a "I want what I want and I want it now" person. Years of instant alcohol gratification is the cause. I have to practice being patient and it does take practice. I sort of think of that quote "all in good time"
Be patient. It will come gradually.
