I wouldn't say I don't feel content. I've felt very content since I stopped drinking.
It was a thought that lasted a few seconds.
I felt bored, was thinking what to do next and, before, a serious option would have been to head out to buy something to drink. It wasn't a serious option today, just a passing thought.
It was more of a habitual thought that I almost instantly disregarded than something resulting from a feeling of discontent.
Could it not be something as simple as boredom and old habit?
