Let's be honest, I doubt anyone out there who is now sober ever really feels that high intensity kind of pleasure/euphoria that alcohol gives. I'm sure there is A LOT of happiness and peace and joy etc... out there for the longer term sober people, no doubt. Please correct me if I'm wrong about this but it seems like we have to kind of let go of having that pleasure/euphoria ever again and settle for a a much more mellow yet REAL kind of happiness.
Being sober will produce pleasure/euphoria for short periods of time just like alcohol did. Expecting total blissful peace 24/7 ain't gonna happen, that's what I'm learning to let go of. Rootin for ya.
