It will get better. It takes time but it can happen for you. After years of booze you get so low you lose the trust of people, including yourself. But give yourself a little time and you will rebuild it.

A bit better. It ebbs and flows, waxes and wanes, I find. Thank you for checking in on me!

This is a thread that I will come back to often ... so many wonderful responses. Thank you all again. So humbled and grateful.

Love that song, but if you need hope.. here is his real life story where he came from and where he is now and the other people that now have hope because of him sharing what he went through and how he found hope...

Hope is a firm assurance regarding things that are unclear and unknown

Flynbuy, you are too thoughtful!!! I'm learning that helping others is the gift that keeps on giving. Like good karma. It comes back to me when I need it.

I listened to the Hope in Front of Me, it gave me chills, as did the short documentary about his life. Wowsers. Thank you for that.

Hang in there Rogue!!

We can't build a life overnight, so don't beat yourself up that you'll never get there, small steps.

I always think it's weird how as a kid I used to look forward to the future with great excitement and anticipation of what it could be like, and then as an adult that turned to fear of what it may not turn out to be.

We can regain that excitement, with alcohol out of the picture the potential for the life we want to build is endless!!

You can do this!!
