Hi there. I have had slight feelings of guilt whenever I drank after being 1 week or several days sober. You just feel like you've come so far and then you went and messed it up somehow. I drank a couple glasses of wine last night, nothing near what I would normally drink. Only reason I stopped is because I ran out of wine and didn't have any money. I knew I would have drank more. Even just drinking those 2 glasses, I still woke up feeling terrible. I drank water before I went to sleep and everything. The alcohol is just no good, no matter how we try to reason. Waking up after a sober evening is freeing, and it just gets better and better as time goes on. Color starts coming back to our faces, energy comes back, sense of humor and joy, etc. It's like we're coming back from the dead; being reborn. Just writing this.... I wonder why I keep going back for even those 2 glasses of wine?

Thank you for posting.
