if you're not happy in your life, and this is not just some transient down period...
ask yourself what a happy life would look like for you...
then ask...whats stopping you from gaining that life?

Milestones can be really tricky and I guess (still 4 months for me to get there) that the year mark is such a big one that it can be more challenging than anticipated.
I have had real wobbles on many 'big' milestone: the two digits of 10 days, first month, 3 months, 100 days. It is a bit of a 'What now?' moment.
And your addictive voice is playing a massive number on you. Are you really not more or less happy than when drinking? Did you stop drinking because you were lonely and bored of your peaceful routine?
We are addcited to any high. You have achieved massive things; 1 year sober, you are fit and you eat healthily. You cannot see the next high and you are thinking of restarting it all again. Go back to day zero after you go low enough with your drinking.
You are better than this. If you have made it this far, you can find other challenges that are new and exciting. They may seem more dificcult than picking up a drink, but you will be soon needing all your energy to do something you already got right now. Use that energy on something else.
