Love the topic, "Redefining Happiness". In my mind once you reach the point where you can get and stay sober on a full time basis you've just started the process of leading a new and more fullfilling life. I like what you said about letting the mind become quiet. Stopping all the mental chatter that our brains just love to engage in and bringing our focus back to the present is a usefull technique.

Meditation, letting go of the past, acceptance, opening your mind to new ideas, admitting that you may have been wrong about some things, living in the present, the list is endless but these are some of the things I'm trying to work on. Again, great topic!!
