Yeah, same here with the dry drunk and accomplishments. Personally, had I known how to live sober, happily, I probably wouldn't have relapsed.
To me, it's like when people say, "Keep the plug in the jug." Good advice but that's only part of it. I kept the plug in the jug and never worked on the triggers that lead me to drinking.
