For some of us, it remains a daily struggle. A good friend of mine says they wake up every day as a severe alcoholic. After so.e meditation and some work they are in recovery again. For some of us it does get easier, some of us aren't so lucky.

Drinking is but a symptom of our condition. I found that when I’m actively participating, working the steps and trying to be a grateful member in service I have found life gets better. Progress. Not perfection.
Congratulations on your year. That’s HUGE

Hi Jason, it does get better. The first year can be really hard because you are completely changing your life. What kind of things do you do to support your recovery? It doesn’t have to be AA, but having tools to support your recovery is what makes things easier because you are better able to cope with life.
