It's not that simple. Were that the case, I doubt so many of us would relapse again and again and again and again. Yes, I "want what you have". I would love what you have.
SIMPLE!! No way. I've been sober 20+ years and from day one it was never simple. During my first year I cried constantly and was an emotional wreck. Thank God for AA, I could never have gotten sober on my own, but I never heard anyone say sobriety was simple. We put booze down and we're still alcoholics. As Bill Wilson says in the Big Book: drinking is but a symptom of our disorder. But it did get better and I promise it will for you as well.
