Congrats on 2.5 months Sohard! AndI would agree that it's normal to have thoughts like that, but it's important that you realize that your addiction has selective memory. You might "miss" some of the fond memories you had associated with your old life, but you also don't have to deal with any of the pain, embarrassment and other consequences of your drinking. Because the bad comes along with the good, no exceptions.

The good news is that you will find other ways to enjoy your life and have fun without alcohol...it just takes time. 2.5 months is a great accomplishment but its still very, very early in the process of healing.
