The best advice I got in early sobriety was to be patient.

You are just a few days sober. That's awesome and you should be thankful for every hour you stay sober. To be sober and happy, this early, might be asking too much. But I know why you are disappointed. We alcoholics are seeking instant gratification--in our drinking--and in our recovery. However, you didn't get to where you are in you drinking overnight. Don't expect you get where you want in your recovery overnight.

So, to repeat the advice I was given and heeded: Be patient. You are right where you are supposed to be.
