I have known this is true for a long time intellectually; however, I still catch myself feeling rotten when I am not actively being "useful." I am totally "works"-oriented; but, never having been much of an achiever of works, have never felt very worthwhile and have spent much of my adult life with a chip on my shoulder.

Sobriety has forced me to examine these issues more closely and roll away the stone for change.

Grateful for a bright and clear mind after a grand total of 3 hours' sleep!
