And you'll get that chance. I've said this a lot of times but i think we (addicts/alcholics) crave instant gratification - and not just the kind we got by drinking. We want everything to be better once we quit drinking and we want it to happen NOW! Unfortunately life doesn't work that way, things that are worth having take time to achieve. And all those years of bad behavior while we were drinking cannot be erased in a matter of days, weeks or even years sometimes.

But it is very common to feel as you feel, and most of us did too. Talking about it helps, and as has been said...every day things will get a little better. There will be setbacks and quite frankly there may be some things we've done that are never forgiven....but you'll never know unless you try your best today. Which is all you can do.
