I don't need the 'high' feeling when I'm happy most of the time.
This is HUGE too..The not really looking for a 'high',but just being happy and being content. I think in active, whatever addiction, we lose sight of the 'slow/simple life'. When active everything seems to be in fast forward because we're so 'busy' covering traces,saving faces,planning the next,ect(which is ,to me, actually another form of a 'high' from active addiction that I got)..that we overcomplicate 'real life' once sober. Great post,least!
