I loved this and think it illustrates part of the difference between getting sober and staying sober. The Big Book says the latter depends on deepening and widening one’s spiritual experience and that’s what your essay reminds me to do! Taking a break from things helps me see what is actually meaningful and important to me and helps me appreciate it even more sometimes, or realize it’s not important anymore.
