You don't have to feel like you are right now ever again, but it's contingent upon your work. You have to do the work. You don't wake up and go to the sober line and get your number, and then they call your number, and all of a sudden, you want a pound of ham and then also a side of sobriety, right? It doesn't work like that. You have to put the work in.
