I think most of us, regardless of our drinking history, mourn a little...but there is no going back, and we have to accept that, in order to move forward.
I think all of us are really adept at remembering the good times- it's a little harder to admit the bad nights are just as likely to happen to us again...
The fact is I can't pick and choose the experience when I introduce alcohol...
I give up my control - and I have no idea whether I'll have a good time, a bad one, whether I'll get into trouble or not, and whether I'll drink for a night or a year.
I remember my life was pretty 'boring' too after day 7...it takes time to learn how to live sober...don't judge your next 7 years on the last seven days....you can learn to have a fun and fulfilled sober life too, like so many others here, quitforme
