"Gasp... You mean I sobered up for this?"

I get those moments every once in a while.
Usually when I'm tired, or any other number of variables that will affect me emotionaly. And I sometimes get easily frustrated when that happens.
I want things to go smoothly in my life. I still want what I want, don't you know...

The difference now, in a nutshell, is that I no longer drown my sorrow of not getting what I want in a bottle.
And that takes practice. Loads of it. You know...

Happiness in sobriety or sobriety in happiness?
Are those the same? And if not, should I be stiving for one or the other?
Or both?

When I feel lost, I basically have two choices.
I can panic and get frustrated.
Or I can have faith that I'm presented with an opportunity to point myself in a new direction, to see what I might find there.

And for some reason, I just know you know that.
