It was one of the biggest surprises and disappointments of sobriety that people just didn't seem to care about my sobriety. Now after almost four years since my last drink I get some positive feed back from my family and friends now and again. It feels good but not as good as not being tethered to alcohol anymore.

Persevering through the boredom, anguish, and disappointments of early sobriety are the ultimate example of "delayed gratification". It's like saving money in the bank, you'll be so glad that you did it but it seems very boring at the time. You should be proud of yourself for getting through two months. If you stay on the wagon it's two months that you'll never have to experience again.
