I struggle so hard with instant gratification, and without alcohol I feel like I don’t get any and I get so bored. Does anyone else feel this way? Please tell me I’m not alone.

You're definitely not you're just simply a human being. Every human struggles with "instant gratification". It's the decision between indulging in something we want versus the consequences of that reaction. As alcoholics or addicts we all want the ease and comfort that comes with a few drinks, I mean of course it's gratifying, but we can't or don't want to handle with what comes with it. That is what recovery teaches you how to handle. Good luck.
