Welcome to the club of the ISM of alcohol-ISM. Abstinence is not drinking and feeling bad about it. Recovery is not drinking and felling good about it.
For those of us who only had one tool for coping with life - alcohol, we need to pick up new tolls for coping or else life will be unbearable.
The new tools that I use now are spiritual principles that bring me the peace of mind, joy and sense of purpose that makes life worthwhile.
