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!
What you lost can be regained. You can't replace your life. If SR is your main support system, then use it. We're here to listen and help where we can.
