That's the alcoholism. That is how it whispers sweet nothings in your ear. Like it says in the big book: "We are unable, at times, to bring into our consciousness with sufficient force the memory of the suffering and humiliation of even a week or a month ago. We are without defense against the first drink."
Of course we don't want to remember the reality of our drinking, only the fantasy and the "good ol' days".
Keep at it, and congrats on the 14 days!
