Yes, absolutely. I mean, no, you're not the only one.

I know from your previous posts that you have consulted doctors about this already.

For me, one key has been in letting go of my old expectations of what my brain could do. I've done my best to establish work-arounds ,and to detach from the emotional angst caused by comparing the new me to the old pre-alcoholic me.

Also, there's still lots of time for your brain to heal and develop new neural pathways. I made a lot of progress between 2 years and 3 years sober. Hopefully you can too.

Meanwhile, just stay sober and do your best with what you have to work with -- that's all any of us can do!
