The downside to being a romantic I guess, Thumpa?

Just today as I was driving home from work and thought, oh I wouldn't mind having a glass of wine to relax. Then I realized how similair breaking up with alcohol is to ending a bad relationship. When you're in it you are miserable, resentful, and angry. When it ends you think about that guy all the time, wonder if he's found somebody to replace you, and forget about how unhappy you two were together. It's like hearing "your song" on the radio and getting that gut punch feeling. Hmmmm
I guess it makes sense that those thoughts will randomly pop in during the healing process...maybe even for longer.
