To me it is as though I have left behind a character flaw, such as I suddenly quit being a liar.

Quietly, inside I no longer feel a sense of weakness because I fear being too drunk, but now I find myself having some odd sense of superiority over those who do. I don't ever vocalize these thoughts, but I suspect they are just coping mechanisms.


Life always seems better when I don't have to stand guard outside my mind's door that leads to my happiness.
