There are many ways in which to achieve sobriety and working recovery. You have to find what is best suiting to and for you. The biggest thing is you only fail if you quit trying. Seven months is awesome! Keep searching. Keep pushing forward. It all begins and ends with you. It will take a while for you to get comfortable with yourself again. It's a whole new way of life. Probably brand new. So often we are stuck in a very immature state and we drowned a lot of things out. It's a learning process. I always think about how far I've came (and that's huge!) but in the big picture, it's a small amount of time considering how long I was an alcoholic. Recognize the small things. Be patient with yourself, give yourself some more time, and while you wait let me introduce you to someone..You! (Hug)
