You hit it, Hevyn....if we forget where we came from...we could quite possibly end up back there. I do NOT want that to happen. So, remembering it.....and continuing to learn from it (even if it embarrasses me) is good for my sobriety.
I have a story....was making dinner and have a recipe that calls for a half cup of beer. I use NA beer...doesn't bother me a bit. Tonight when I made it, I actually smelled it before I poured it in. Then, I took a sip! Commented to myself that it tasted like crap....and then I started laughing! Only an alcoholic would have a talk with herself about a drink of beer...that has no alcohol in it!
