Your writing always resonates with me, so I figured I should mention that. As a healthcare provider who works mainly in mental health, I prefer my Friday nights at home now, resting; have declared them off limits for socializing whereas I, too, used to throw caution to the wind in the wee hours before an early shift. I gave up going to conferences, too, because I couldn't muster the enthusiasm anymore; it's just more difficult to get continuing ed this way. This particular essay of yours brings to mind a grown-up Holden Caulfield, which is a good thing, because now I can breathe a sigh of relief that he kept living and never lost his holy skepticism; that he still can't stand phonies but he rediscovered God.
I... Can't tell you how much this resonates with me, and possibly a GREAT deal of men out there.
The alienation, the depression, the isolation, the boredom, and then the revelation to simply let God back into your life is pretty much exactly the line I walked.
