I'm pretty sure I had a pink cloud. I wasn't sure if it went away on it's own, or it was my returning to work ( I work in a school) at the end of the summer! At any rate, I did go through a period where I thought....gee...ok, I'm sober...now what? Now at 8 months, I realize my sobriety has continued to give me gifts at various times....I've just had to be ready for them. I've had to learn new ways to relax and spend time.....but I'm now enjoying reading books again Just yesterday I realized how drinking had diminished my enjoyment of gardening....and now that interest has been restored.

Keep sober. Keep working and learning.....and a lasting contentment will come....maybe not a pink cloud....but very satisfying.
