I am so happy for you that you experienced it so simply. I am coming up on the one year anniversary of my "awakening" / the sudden tragic death of my lover. My story with 12-step programs has similarities to yours, but after awakening I realized I had achieved step 12 though still using, and came up with a plan to stop using, which I accomplished the day I moved to NH on Dec 3rd. If you want to read my stories, you will find them. I will say I define awakening exactly as you--the soul doesn't awake, I became aware, instantaneously with the loss, and have not and am never looking back.
