With time and persistence things will change , sometimes i've found things like jobs and relationships have changed in ways i didn't expect , sometimes seeming bad at the time , but i've kept sober and stayed true and things have worked out ok . Stay true to the course , keep on working on yourself and life , I find a gratitude list helps rally my spirits . m
