I had thoughts like those in early sobriety. At this point, not only do I not miss alcohol, but I love NOT drinking because it gives me so many things in life that I wouldn't have if I were drinking. If you give it time, those romanticized feelings of alcohol will pass.

If I'm somewhere on a beautiful day and I see people having a drink, my immediate thought these days is "wow, if I had some of that it would totally ruin this perfectly good day." I look at it as a poison that wouldn't allow me to get maximum enjoyment out of life. So, I feel the opposite of the way I felt in early sobriety- the way you do now.
