That first one nailed it. Appreciate the smaller things. I quit drinking 18 months ago and lost most my friends because their life revolves around alcohol. Has it been hard? Absolutely but in September of 2013 I was in the hospital for my stomach. I had a chance to think about what mattered. For me the small thing is the wonderful relationship I have with my nephew. Find your small happiness and soon it will engulf you in an amazing way.
