Look Out World, I'm Cured!!!

Addicted to Recovery: The Interactive Memoir

Back from rehab, I believed, due to a few months of sobriety, that all the problems in my life would solve themselves. Alcohol had been the problem. The thing that was holding me back was removed, so nothing could stop me!!!
Stop me from... organizing my books and haircare products? Catching up on the TV I missed?
I found myself more and more preoccupied with the things that NOT drinking was preventing me from doing, or would at least stop me from enjoying
The problem was I hadn’t created an alternative life model. I just thought I would insert my sober self into my old life and everything would be the same except without the nasty consequences of being a sloppy drunk. However, the first time I tested that hypothesis, I found it was not that simple.
