Yes. I miss the first few minutes of that warmness. Then I pull myself together and remember the hell that followed. The only physical substitute I know that compares to it is the adrenaline rush you get from exercising. Otherwise, the substitute for me is the feeling of peace with myself knowing that I no longer have to put myself or people that love me through the horrible drama alcohol brings. It's just not worth it.
