This article is interesting to me, thanks for writing it. I am over 2 years sober and for the most part I feel the pink cloud hasn’t left! Everyday I am so grateful for dreary sobriety! It’s been so much more fun and interesting than my drinking life ever was. It is not without challenges, but still the peace of mind gives me a high! I don’t think this continued feeling of elation and joy in sobriety is common, so I might be one of the lucky ones.
