@Phooenixification maybe it's something to do with being satisfied Vs chasing pleasure, and understanding which you value more. You can have all the materialistic things in the world but does that mean you are happy? I assume a sense of content does not come from achievements or making others happy but finding what truly makes you happy and experienced/achieving that. It's all about your wants Vs shoulds Vs what you care for Vs your duty. It's very difficult to recognise your wants when you don't know what your wants actually are. You used to believe your drinking, tobacco, ... were your desires but then you realized they were all mainly your emotional coping mechanisms. Then you started bettering your life and making others happy and what does this truly do for you? I believe now is the time to actually get out there and discover that thing that you truly enjoy/want. Maybe I'm wrong but maybe it is something worth journaling.
