Stay sober keep doing the work and things will improve. If it was easy there’d be no recovery groups around. Ultimately drinking got you into the mess you’re in so it won’t get you out but just get you even deeper. If you dig in and stay sober this will all make a great share and inspiration for others who are early in in years to come. It takes years to fully heal mentally and emotionally in sobriety in my experience; that’s what the steps in AA are partly for.

Alcohol is but a symptom of a failure to cope with life on life’s terms for an alcoholic in my experience. That’s what the steps are for; to live life on life’s terms sober and to lose the fear and difficulty of this. It’s a beautiful thing but it takes time and it takes action 🙏
