That natural high is so good! I love outdoors festivals and live music and am so happy I can properly feel the good feelings and get into the vibe...... so much more liberating when we can soak up the atmosphere and be amongst others, have a good time and be able to remember the good times because there is very little bad stuff that happens really.
The drinking for fun is such a myth, I'm loving the freedom you are finding Tasty, it's so good here on the other side of alcoholism, like the past was one weird nightmare and life has re-started again. For me the freedom is like that I had as a teen but better for the lack of toxic substances and so much nicer when it passes into memory... Building new, good memories helps the brain to recover quicker IMO, replacing the horrible dark thoughts with those of euphoria and hope for continued good feelings.
You have so got this Jess....
Keep rocking!
