Insights on connection between sobriety and maturity
I have been thinking about this one a lot. I have always felt much less mature than other people my age (I am mid 40s). There are many aspects of my personality in which this manifests itself. Many of those aspects I like about myself, while others are quite bothersome. When I am sober, these are exposed into the light. I feel like I am lazy, people pleasing, not serious, selfish, and several other things. I don't feel bad about myself, just that I feel I should be more mature and maybe if I was more mature, then it would be easier to make the right decisions regarding my life and sobriety. Does anyone have any insights on this? Is it important to sobriety?
