Oh yes, when I first got sober, i just got out of inpatient rehab, I thought I was on a pink cloud. And this rush of the actual taste of a cool pop (i called my beers cool pops) had me breathing heavy and I felt dizzy. I went to the hospital just off base, and that is where the meetings were held too.
The guy that ran the meeting was outside asked,
"Whats up D, you look like you seen a ghost."
I laughed and the tension in me broke. I told him about my rush and dizziness, and he calmly said,
"Yeah, happens sometimes, but you made it here right?"
He was a cool guy. I miss him.
I was stationed in Germany. I miss Germany too.
Sigh....
A wonderful place to be during this season.
