Like finding a way to get 'high on life', for me it's a much better buzz because I'm in control ... I'll soon be driving the wagon I'm on! Replacing 'high' with 'hope' is working for me, the whole of my life to look forward to instead of a few Highs and lots and more days of despair, sorry waffling again.
I hope you can find a way through the difficult down days to lead to to the sunny, sober side of life
Enjoy the journey!

Natural highs are always better than chemical ones, once you learn to appreciate them. I took life pretty much for granted most of the time and then now I wonder why I feel the need to get high (well, drink these days). The natural highs of life are more subtle and I guess I didn't know how to notice them when I was younger. That way of thinking is over though, and I need to learn to appreciate life again.
