Skuppy,
Sounds good. I know the feeling of serenity. For me it is being comfortable while sober, sitting quietly on a Friday night while on a weeks vacation.
In the old days, I would be half way done w bottle of middle shelf vodka.
At 4 months I still had a long road to hoe in my sober journey.
Glad you experienced serenity.
I still get frustrating craves at 18 months sober. Today was frustrating for a few reasons, but I stayed clean.
AA is a great place to stay sober......Just in case.... you start to feel troubled, understand your obsessions etc are a mental thing and might have zero to do w you level of AA effort.
I worry folks feel the brain damage for months and months...years even...and think they are doing something wrong in AA....then they relapse.
Imo....the main thing is stay clean. The next thing is to find things that make us content while being clean.
Thanks.
