I'm 2 years sober but i still have these feelings that im not where i should be. I want everything to be together and feel like I'm making more progress then what i feel like i am. But at the same time im doing the right things. I just wish it would pay off quicker and my life have more peace in it. Does anybody else have this issue?

We are always gonna feel like we should be doing more, until we figure out why we were self medicating, we will just be clean/sober. I understand what you are feeling, that's why I am doing the heavy lifting with my mental health so that I can be more than just abstinent from drugs and alcohol, I want to recover from it as well!!! Hope this is a little helpful... We got this!!!
Carrie, you’re not alone. I feel like you sometimes but then everything works out and I see things are perfect.
I try to recognize the things that I am grateful for right now and stop judging my progress in a negative way. Any thoughts or feelings that are negative are an indication that I’m in ego. My ego/addiction wants me dead but will settle for my misery.
When I’m in ego I immediately recognize and then change my thoughts to positive and gratitude
We have to surrender and that's hard to do we want things right now that's the addict in us instant gratification but things take time ur working on it so it will come just relax and be patient
