Problems with recovery

I don't know how else to label what I've been through... it was recovery, I'm better now. The problem with that? All my vices are gone. All of my old coping mechanisms are gone, rendered useless. No more binging, no more promiscuity, no more drinking to the point of blackout, no more smoking, no more pot, no more walls to build around me, not even an innocent thumb sucking. What do I have now? This new compassion for others that makes all these stupid emotions show up at the most inopportune times. This dumb imagination which makes me feel things I never had to feel before. This sense of complete and utter... peace. How boring.
