Pictures are capturing only a portion of your drinking. The "fun" part. What is that? Ten percent?
What about the pictures of you throwing up? Passed out? Embarrassing yourself? Injuring yourself? Arguing with friends and family? Feeling guilty for your actions? Where are those pictures? If you had them you wouldn't be so nostalgic.
Drinkers for whom drinking is just "fun" aren't logging onto recovery forums. Sober Recovery is for those of us whose "fun" drinking is a memory in a picture because the reality of our drinking is pure hell.
