Just, the people around you may not care, but 30 days is impressive. As far as your "only" reason for stopping goes, being sick of the pain of addiction sounds like a good one to me. That might not be the only one in due time.

I don't blame you for having a list of things that you're angry about and want, but when you do the same thing as you did with drinking - flip it around - you can impress yourself with the things you do have. Easier said than done. I have some things to complain about too and did some complaining to myself and in an email today.

But months ago I looked back and saw the quitting as easy. Months later, it looks that way too, and so does the staying quit. Now it's just the present that looks hard, and by that I mean the things I have to accomplish that don't have much to do with drinking/sobriety; just being satisfied that I am living smart. But if I can keep going with my attitude...And line up my building blocks patiently....Hmmm. I'll see what I can do.
