There is nothing I miss about not being able to drink.

There were a couple of times early in recovery when after a fight with my spouse I would wish i could go to a bar and get smashed and engage in some wife bashing with the boys like i usually did but i was able to see the self destrutiveness in such a behaviour.

There was also a time when hangovers never bothered me either.I could party until 1 am on a weekday and be up by 6 am for work ,but as my disease progressed and my condition worsened, hangovers became a daily occurence.
