In some perverted respect I'm almost glad I've gone through addiction and gotten to the point where I can really appreciate life on its own terms.
Great post!! You hit it.........
There's a school of thought we stopped progressing emotionally at the age we started drinking........I was 13. It takes time to learn how to interact with others sans alcohol for sure.

Could not agree more heartily that in pain there is gratitude, joy and growth. This is considered a paradox of sobriety.......

Thanks for the thread JD
