I have to be honest here. There are times when I do miss the altered state but when I look at the reasoning behind it I am usually sad, mad, frustrated or scared. I then pick up the tools that the program gave me (the steps), find out what triggered it (fear) and do the work that I've been taught (by sponsor) and that missing the altered state leaves. Sanity (reality/reminder that this booze stuff WILL kill me) kicks in again and I get to live sober (sane).
DES, there is an easier way to live. I promise. Living life like you feel you are missing something isn't really living. imo.
I love AA.
