I've found that some of that "more to it" stuff come with more sobriety time. It's like the wise old Buddha on the hill doles out the wisdom as we're ready for it or something. Maybe you can think of some piece that you know now that you didn't know earlier. Hang on to that and know that there is more to come. Keep putting in the time, you're doing well there candycorn.
