@cassandra429844 First off 
CONGRATULATIONS on your six days of sobriety. As the fog clears from your brain you'll notice, which you are starting to, that life as you knew it is out of place. You didn't lose anything. You just traded it for alcohol.
Get off your pitty pott. Hopefully you've pulled your head all the way out of your but and will start to see a new horizontal and vertical plane of vision.
Trust me on this; I've been where you're at. I speak from 36+ years of sobriety. It gets better.
The cool part about sobriety is that we are given the opportunity to live two lives in one lifetime.
Cassie 1.0 for the sake of the conversation we'll call her Tornado Cass who destroyed everything in her path. She destroyed her "beautiful suite, sentimental items, job opportunities, friendships, strained family and partnership. Hope that life style you walked away from.
Now in soberity here is your second life, Cassie 2.0 is slowly being created. Cassie 2.0 no longer destroys everything in her path. In turn she mends, heals and creates a new clearer life. A life built on INTEGRITY and HONOR.
Now, get out there and work on yourself first and the rest will follow and fall into place.
You can do this my friend. I believe in you.
