I think drugs can definitely make you see a new perspective and this feeling can be exhilarating. But I don't think there is any lasting benefit there. You can't keep going back to it. After a while you get accustomed to the effects and this fresh perspective is gone. Check out the book the Kool Aid Acid Test if you want to learn more about this effect with LSD.

I think you should make an effort to translate this revelation you've had over to your sober life. That is the only way to make the feeling permanent.
