"How do I make myself feel better and how can I find anything to possibly be thankful/appreciative for after all of this?"

For me, things immediately got better. I wasn't in school when I got sober, but enrolled in grad school with one month of sobriety. I found I was able to accomplish quite a bit.

Unless I miss my guess, your grades will improve, your physical and mental state will improve, and things will just feel better. All of these things happenend to me. My self-esteem grew and I began to feel like a real person again.

In a strange way I'm glad that I'm alcoholic. A guy in meetings around Boston expresses it this way. Alcoholics are like pure gold. We've been through the fire and come out of the inferno cleansed and purified.

Pure gold. I like that. That's what you are too, Chris.

Best of luck with your studies.
