I pick 1
Personally, I like being on edge. I feel it keeps me sharp and on guard against any threat (like drinking) that may come my way.
I'm a natural edgy person so this is just normal for me. If we're talking about the same kind of on edge.
I feel being on edge gives me an advantage over those who are complacent and unaware.
**** yes, number 1.
I haven't been drunk in over ten and a half years and I'm still on edge. If it comes with the territory of being sober, so be it. I'll take over being drunk and not functioning in any meaningful any day.
Unhappy? Unproductive? What kind of life is that.
You're not content, you're drunk. And that comes with consequences.
So does sobriety, but once you get some time in, you'll understand.
