Fallen off the cushion

Well I can really and truly say that my Buddhist studies have come to a sad halt... As well as any meditation I was doing. Tired? You bet! Happy? Very much! Has this got something to do with it? As I feel very contented I no longer need Buddhism? For what I have studied and experienced up to now this is a tricky place to be as things are ever changing and my happiness is by no means permanent (well, it could be but we just don't know) wouldn't it be better if I stayed on the Buddha wagon? I read this today and it mirrored my feelings somewhat:

Consumer Culture and Spiritual Practice

Consumer culture is modeled on instant gratification. We say we want a close relationship with a spiritual mentor, but when that mentor’s guidance challenges our desires or pushes our ego’s buttons too much, we stop seeking it. At the beginning of our practice, we profess to be earnest spiritual seekers, aiming for enlightenment. But after the practice has remedied our immediate problem—the emotional fallout of a divorce, grief at the loss of a loved one, or life’s myriad setbacks—our spiritual interest fades, and we once again seek happiness in possessions, romantic relationships, technology, and career.
