If you view sobriety as a the punishment for being alcoholic, then yes, I can see how you might be angry at not being able to drink. But the longer you wish you could drink normally, the more likely you are to think, "Hey, maybe I
can drink normally."
Try not to entertain the "What ifs," or the "Why me" thoughts. They lead to resentments and resentments are recovery killers. Sobriety isn't the punishment for alcoholics, our drinking is.
