I spend a lot of time in the gym, and chasing after my newly mobile 8 month old..

But I think a really important part of my recovery, was finding contentment and happiness without chasing a 'rush'. Not sure what did that, other than time, and a bit of counseling. I know for the first few months sober, I thought I needed to replace my 'high', with a healthy way to feel a little rushed or buzzed.. naturally.. but then I realized I was still chasing the same feeling, albeit much healthier for me, and I wanted to work through that.

That is such a non-answer lol.. sorry. I think it's just time, distraction, new adventures, and a new sense of contentment that comes with recovery work.
