So many of these posts on happiness and finding it, keeping it, and what it means to individuals. It makes me question what happiness means to me, and I'm lacking in an answer. I feel contentment, but I'm not sure how to define what happiness is or how it's different from that. Drugs create a euphoria, but that isn't really happiness is it? I'm coming up on a year completely 100% sober, and that's nice. I've got a family, including a 4-month-old daughter and that's nice too. These things all seem just 'nice' to me though, nothing seems really 'great', does that make sense? I don't feel particularly bad, but more neutral? How do you get from 'okay' to 'awesome'? Does it take time? Does it take some grand realization of your dreams? Does it take mindful acceptance of your present?
