" how the sober life with it's even keel rather than peaks and troughs was the correct one."
For me right now it's hills and valleys instead of mountain tops and canyons. Everything is manageable though. No arrests is a good thing as is constructive conversation instead of totally shutting people out (which in hindsight was simply a mechanism to continue drinking). I get my adrenelin fix by doubling the speed limit in school zones on my bike and smiling for the photo radar. It's more fun to be harmlessly naughty than to drink and risk the possibility of really really bad stuff happening. I am greateful for this new life and hope to never slip back to what I was. It's more fun having fun w out the booz.
