Ready for Change
Hello Everyone,
I stumbled upon this site after searching the web for a symptom I was having after I stopped drinking, and ended up reading many helpful comments. So glad to be here!

What we think and what we feel, are distinct drivers of our behavior. Epictetus noted some 2000 years ago that “it isn’t our circumstances, but our view of them, which creates our miseries."
The one good thing about being an addict is that we are in a position to better understand ourselves if we put forth the effort. Normal people almost never engage in serious introspection.
For example, my son was a heroin addict at 25, living on the street. Today, 5 years later, he is clean and sober and far, "Wiser," than his brothers and peers.
