so I went cold turkey all on my own and survived, but nothing was fun when sober, i thought it would get better but it didnt, i hated my job and was looking for shortcuts, in the process I lost all my retirement, $95,000 on penny stocks
I'm sorry you didn't find happiness in sobriety.
Maybe the looking for shortcuts thing was the problem?
It took me a year or so to really turn things around and start to feel good about myself and my life.
The way I saw it was I was building the foundations of a new life. I don't think you can skimp on that. You need to be patient.
You need a good support network too.
Did you have one, and use it Depreciator?

Welcome back! I realize from experience that in the beginning stuff is "no fun sober". But that doesn't last forever. It gets better!
