I disagree with those who say you will eventually feel this good once you get sober. There are very few things in life that can match the somewhat sustained euporhic high that comes when using alcohol or other substances. Even an orgasm only last a few mintues.

So Lizella, you will never feel this good sober. You will have to accept that. But the price for those few hours of that euporhic high is enormous: you will seriously damage your mind and body; you will hurt family and friends; you will do shameful things you would never do sober. And you may eventually die from substance abuse. And in time, if you become addicted, you will no longer feel that euporhic high; you will end up needing to use a substance to just feel normal.

So ask yourself if those few hours of "feeling good" are worth the price?
