I really like your idea that sobriety isn't a goal in itself, Matt.
Realising that was the key for me - I want to be the best person I can be and live the best life I'm able....I might still be a work in progress LOL but I find drinking or not drinking kinda finds its own perspective, its own level, when I look at it like that.
Kinda like trying to finish the whole jigsaw puzzle rather than just being obsessed with one troublesome piece I guess?
