I had to realize what I think I saw is not reality. You saw people "enjoying" alcohol. I am at the stage where I don't enjoy alcohol. That is just my Addictive Voice trying to lure me in.
I do not miss alcohol. I am giving up nothing. In fact I have Gained countless other things since quitting. My brain feels better, my body feels better, my life is better! These are the things I have actually been missing out on!
Anytime I get that romantic fantastical lie about having a drink I just think of all the Other things I will be "missing out" on. No comparison! A clear mind, body and life or a drink of alcohol?? hmmmmmmm
