Oh wow, this essay resonated so deeply with me. I spent 20+ years worrying about how I could possibly live without getting high; searching madly for purpose and meaning while I continued to drink and fretted about putting down the bottle. Then, when I finally just stopped, it turned out it wasn’t that hard, and life so far is simply better. The simplicity is staggering. Your words encourage me not to mope and moan about the wasted time. Thank you. I’m not cackling yet, but I’m smiling. ❤️
