Welcome Serenityriver. I totally get your post and I do know when I first became sober I felt pretty inadequate as a human being. As I gained more time and had time to really dig deep, I noticed I was a much better person sober then when I drank. When I drank I would eventually become argumentative or I would take things the wrong way. I like myself a whole lot better as a sober being then the opposite. It is a journey and it doesn't happen overnight. We spent much of our lives in that haze and viewing life was definitely distorted in my opinion. Give it time friend. xxx
