Recovery is not social acceptability--so true!

As for me, I did not lose a bunch of stuff when I got clean. I had decent grades in college, I was on a career path, I had not alienated my family, my health was good. By some measures, I was socially acceptable. But I felt bad about me. I didn't like the life I was living, even if I was doing okay on the outside. I had gotten really tired of the same old same old everday. I felt like a loser. My lowpoint was a spiritual one, not a financial, social or legal one.
