I think the key is "on some level". On other levels, it makes life worse.
For me, it's really important to manage depression and not get overwhelmed. I think I need a plan about 100 times more than some other people might, because the benefits of sobriety often seem elusive.
Yet here I am on day whatever, and however I feel at least I'm not destroying myself today. I might not always like it, but I think it's worth it.

Unluckyatlife Yes I agree. Sounds familiar. Someone was always telling me I was better than other people. I forget who, maybe I was talking to myself. At the same time I had/have some self esteem issues. Booze is always a nice escape for a few hours. Didn't hep the problem just made it so I didn't think about it. So I figure as long as I'm drinking I'll never really deal with the problem or other problems I don't like to think about
