"I didn't care if life would be boring for the rest of my life as long as it was boring without a hangover."
I should have added that life is not boring without alcohol. Sobriety hasn't made my life all exciting, but I just really enjoy going through my day feeling pretty good and content. I think that's the word I really want to emphasize: You become content to just be. Heck, even going to work isn't so bad when you're feeling pretty good.
Lord knows I was never content when I was drinking!
