I've never in my life wished i could go back but have done in sobriety. I can't seem to brush mistakes off in sobriety like i could do when drinking as i used to blame drinking for everything in my life which, in hindsight, was absolutely ridiculous. Alcohol served as an excellent medium to blame which meant I didn't have to take too much responsibility myself. As far as nostalgia goes, yes that has decreased in sobriety as i have learned that i can't go back and i have tried a few times! I'm not the same person, drinking or not, and it is not the same time and the people aren't the same people etc. That combined with the fact that our memories aren't the most reliable documentation of the past means that we are best living in the now
