		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been sober five years today and I&#8217;ve been writing and erasing this post for 2 hours now.  I can&#8217;t seem to be able to communicate this without sounding pathetic, so maybe I should just say it in the most concise way possible. Recovery has made nearly everything in my life better, except for one [...]]]></description>
