I heard that with my deaf ear. Or maybe I read it with my blind eye. Anyway, I know exactly what you mean.
Giving up the addiction is a simple proposal. From now on, you will live life behind the eyes of a clean, sober person.
There’s no magic result which makes all of the problems in life go away (except maybe the ability to react to them with a sober mind).
I feel the same way. I need to HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALT. The problems in my life have been doing a fantastic job pissing me off. Just because I seem to have a clearer emotional and cognitive way of dealing with crap doesn’t mean that the crap goes away.
I’ve tried getting a massage, eating comfort food, stuff like that, but it’s getting to me.
Maybe this weekend I’ll go for a run.
Anyway, I hope you feel better.
