The wonderfullest surprise of sobriety was discovering everything I needed to be happy was in my head all along. I didn't know it, and I didn't know how to access it, but it was there.
My drinking brought pleasure, but not happiness. In fact, drinking made me lazy about finding happiness. It wasn't until I committed to not drinking that I was able to uncover my happiness.
That's my Journey. Best of Luck on Yours!
and if wonderfullest isn't a real word, it should be!
