Hi neednewpath
One of the things I had to learn in recovery was patience - I'd drink for a long time and was very used to the immediate gratification of booze.
You're basically building a new life. It takes a little time to learn a new approach and a new skill - but it will happen.
A lot of people point to three months as a turning point and I'd agree with that - but that's not to say it will always be as hard as it is now til then...things got incrementally better week by week
