Hi Wylie,
I think what you are saying is that you're seeing everything in your life differently now that you're sober. That's how I felt too. It was a whole new way of looking at things. And, I did make big changes in my life when I stopped drinking too. I removed several toxic people, including some family members, from my life. I know for sure that I could not have survived in the environment you are describing. It would have exhausted me and I wouldn't have made it.
