The opposite of addiction is connection.

There is another perspective besides “frustrating “ - that sobriety is a gift. No matter how it’s packaged or how ingrained it is in our society, alcohol is a poison to the body. Whether it’s one drink or 10, the body wants to get rid of it. Many people who can moderate may never get the chance to question why they drink. I got that chance and got to grow mentally, psychologically and spiritually because of it. I’m not frustrated I can’t drink, I’m thankful I realize I never have to drink again.

Read This Naked Mind. It’s got some good insights.
