Paradise Found
A long-time member finally finds contentment in himself—not somewhere on a map
If I had to choose one word to describe what I’d hoped to find in recovery, it would be contentment. Serenity sounds a bit boring, and exciting serenity sounds like a contradiction. Looking back to the time I stopped drinking more than 38 years ago, I have found a lot of contentment in sobriety. But until fairly recently, there always seemed to be things that stood in the way of me really being content.
