"I don't come back to this place very often. Not drinking isn't a daily struggle for me currently..."
"Anyway, some days are better than others. Mostly I feel very aimless, adrift..."


Well come back to grumble then. The support here does not end when you stop drinking.

From my POV, what you are feeling is pretty normal. Life is not perfect. But always better sober. Something that helped me in early sobriety was a comment from a guy at an AA meeting. He said he felt a lot better once he realized he was comparing the inside view of his life with the outside facade of other people's lives. The reality is that everybody has issues. We just see our own issues perhaps too clearly.
