I don't think any of that is goofy at all. This is a brilliant and inspiring post and I appreciate you sharing it with us. I've been on and off the wagon myself for the past couple years and can relate to basically everything you have written here. I've mentioned the struggle with alcohol in some of my experience reports and how DMT (changa mostly) has shown me new perspectives. However the battle has not been won 100%, but it is still a work in progress...
Anyway, congratulations on the sobriety and again, thank you for posting this. I'm sure I won't be the only one who can relate.
