When I was drinking daily at my worst the few times a month that I would wake up not hung over felt so foreign. I remember thinking how sad it was that what should be the normal way of life was so abnormal. I will tell you though that waking up with no hangover is one of the best gifts of sobriety.
That's a good point. It should make us realize the hell we went through.
At the same time, I've found I have more of an appreciation for simpler things in life now that I've been through this. It doesn't take much to make me happy before i went through my addiction phase I'd classify myself as a whiner at times.. Not anymore! After going through what I went through you won't hear my complain about much anymore.
