Do you ever miss getting drunk or high?
Not anymore. I'm getting used to waking up feeling good. I'm getting used to not feeling ashamed of myself or guilty for spending money I can't really afford. I'm getting used to having my self respect back, as well as the respect of my kids.
Sure, there are times I'd love to just 'escape' but I remember how bad it always turns out if I drink.
Hang in there. It does get better. Welcome to SR!
