I'm with soberbrooke 100% here. A lot of my old friends and work associates rarely go past what they watch on TV, else it's a bunch of salacious gossip. I want something deeper, more meaningful than all that.

Also, what artsoul writes about you getting to know yourself is prescient. I had no idea how little I really knew myself when I started this process. It would not be an exaggeration to write that I have learned more about my true self in these past five weeks that I learned during a whole year before that. It's a little overwhelming, but enormously satisfying.

On some level, I think confused and distracted is the new, modern "normal." Those of us on this journey to sobriety, recovery, however we think of this process, are seeking something more richer and more fulfilling.
