I think something like “not finding it enough”, is a better way to understand it than “losing sight of it”

Why I feel this way is that people I know who have both struggled with and it failed to overcome their habits, often know and can see what led them down their paths. You can see something, and still not hold/have/enjoy/feel, etc which I think it’s important when having two conversations about the topic with people who could send would be more empathetic if they could connect to the situation more. Just seems, to me anyways, to get a better result.

I’m in no way disagreeing with you
