I expect your life is going to be long and full and interesting, and that some of it will involve ice-cream-eating and wistfullness. But only some of it.
Alcoholics like quick resolutions -- we prefer certain ruin to not forcing an outcome that isn't right or ready.
When I got sober, I thought I had to learn patience. Now I'm starting to see that what I thought was waiting, was just plain living. I used to struggle against the tide, then I learned to tread water, and now I try to let it guide me.
In your case, I see no reason for it not to guide you to ice cream, for now.
