Why is getting through the 1st year of soberiety so hard physically, mentally, and emotionally? (I attend meetings and I have a sponsor).

Change is hard, and old habits are hard to change!!! It's work for sure. Building Will Power is what it takes to be sober. It gets easier but is always difficult.

You didn't come this far only to come this far!!

I don’t know why but it is. :sob:but for me it definitely got easier after that first year. It took me that long to even get back to feeling like a person.

KeO ... No one said sobriety is going to be easy.
Your body is going through enough changes as it is. Take away the alcohol and now your body is really going to change. Just because you're going to meetings and have a sponsor doesn't make it a good way. You'll still have to clear the wreckage of your past.
Keep up the good work. You'll get through it.
