during this strange sober time and they may be hard to convey
Maybe the drinking time was the strange time and you are simply feeling what life is like sober. Its funny how just simple, normal things are so miraculous to me. Waking up without a hangover....or actually without the terror of knowing that I must drink or I will start to withdraw..and all the awful crap that comes with that. Just normal life.....coffee, SR, email, bills, cleaning, exercise, walk the dog. WOW. Normal.
You're doing great.
