Everything happened at once for me. I was 24 hours sober when the divorce process with my wife was being finalized. My long term employer decided to retire and sell the business which left me with a ton of questions of course and a fear of losing my financial security. Like what else could happen right? Honestly, I just wanted to hit the F it button. Its just how I had always coped. I was only a few days sober when it all happened again within just a few days of each other. Mind you, this was less than a month ago. Ive committed to a meeting a day and Ive been faithful there. Im meeting with a sponsor and started step work. I have employment once my company closes thats financially more lucrative. But my head is still spinning like crazy and I feel overwhelmed most days. I just want this to settle and feel like I can breath again. Im sober today and Im grateful for that, but I just wanna know if its gonna get easier, or will I always feel a drink just might fix it?
I don't know if it ever really goes away, it's always a thought in the back of your mind. I think it does get easier to choose not to make that choice. As you learn to live without it in your life and see how beautiful life can be with out it, I do believe it gets easier. Keep moving forward sober, one day at a time 
Thanks Robin. Just hoping to for a break. I know it’s coming
You’re carrying a lot, and I’m proud of you for staying committed to your recovery. It does get easier, but it takes time and patience. Keep connecting here, and remember, some days it’s about ‘staying in the moment,’ and other days won’t feel as bad, but in both, you’re growing, even when it doesn’t feel like it.
Congratulations on sobriety, Kevin. I am sorry to hear life has been so heavy for you lately. I am happy to hear you are going to meetings and keeping your commitments to yourself. It does get easier, it never goes away, but little by little everyday it will become easier. We are always here for you when you need to talk!
I can't say this is true for everybody, but the desire to drink has left me. I will have a flippant thought here and there, but I do not entertain that. I've learned that drinking never really fixed the problems I thought it did. If anything, it placated them and/or made them worse. I will say that you get to choose what chaos you allow in your life. And if you choose peace, you will have peace. Life becomes stable. If everything is changing at once, then you're walking in answered prayers. You're getting what you've asked for. It just might not look like what you thought.
