Welcome to the forum, Jane.
My motivations for getting sober did not include embarking on a spritual journey - just to save my career.
But, upon getting sober, my career became somewhat of a tertiary motivating factor, primarily because I didn't want to part with the ability to live a fairly normal life and secondarily because I no longer felt like I did when I drank and used.
If drinking and/or using was better than recovery, most of us wouldn't be posting on this board.
Best with your detox and with your recovery.
