I'm reasonably happy with my sober life and the progress I've made during the past year. It's far from perfect and I do have my moments, ...it's a work in progress, and will always be. As long as I keep the dynamic and a relative peace of mind more often than not, I think I'll be satisfied. It was being stuck and going crazy in a state of physical, mental and spiritual stagnation and destruction that had made me utterly miserable during my heavy drinking years.
