Hi Hopeful
for me things got a lot more consistent after the first 90 days - I think I started getting used to emotions again and worked out in my head what the level of appropriate response for any given situation was.
I felt a lot less angry about what had gone before and a lot more excited and hopeful for the future
I started to get some energy back and I started on the foundations of building a new life - a sober life - that I loved.
I still had ups and downs and still had moments of cravings the first year but they were more and more easily dismissed as time went on.
I drank for years - the fact it took only a year to basically get my ducks in a row was a pretty good return I thought
You're doing great but do hang in there - it will get better
