In my experience, that's not how it works. I had to find ways to bring joy and happiness into my life. And, I think that's the hardest part of recovery - making the lifestyle changes you need to make in order to support your recovery. If you're depressed and unhappy, what can you do to change that? Do you have an exercise program? Do you have hobbies or play sports? I had to get back to things I had loved doing before I was consumed by alcoholism.

You did great on getting through two months. I hope you can come up with some ideas to help you get beyond two months and to maintain permanent sobriety.
