I totally agree. What a waste of everything I could have been to everyone in my life, including myself. I am so happy to have my life back and to be working on the things that brought me to alcoholism.

I have to admit that I occasionally wish I could go out with the boys and let loose. I only think this way maybe once a week. Of course, in my mind its the beer-commercial version of going out, not the three-day, no eating, no shower out-of-control mess that was my usual style.

I must say I do miss some of my behaviors that were freed-up when I was flying high. However, I am learning to act strange clean and its far more exciting now that I'm sober clean. Before long I'll be strutting in my wild outfits again.

I thought I would miss it but honestly I love the way I feel in the mornings now. I used to see people on the morning shows and ask myself "how do they do it"? I always felt like crap in the morning because I decided to get drunk the night before.

Every time I relapsed it tasted worse. Didn't make me feel like I wanted to (used to) feel. My spirit, what hadn't been completely crushed, was screaming at me to quit. Now I'm glad I finally did. I like waking up feeling human. It had been a long time since I woke up feeling good.
Not to mention when I got really bad I would shake so bad in the morning I had to give up coffee...

In a word, no.
I know what I did the night before, I don't feel like **** in the morning, I haven't lost my friends, job or relationship because of something I can't remember doing.
Oh, I could go on but life is so much better.

I don't miss getting loaded.... what I am having a hard time with is coming to the realization that I am never going to be a normal drinker. I miss the social glass of wine. (Problem is... it hasn't been a glass for me in a long time.)
The idea of never again is hard for me at times. I hope it gets better.

Yeah, that tricky social drink (which none of us ever had near the end)
It ain't never gonna happen, so you've just got to accept it.
Yes, it's hard when my friends are drinking red wine and I get a waft of the "bouquet." All I need to do at that point is follow the drink through.
Oh, I'd have a few bottles of wine and end up god knows where god knows when. When I do that, it makes it just not worth it.

...I'm with Zencat...I loved the escape to be and dress and act and enjoy the capers of similar minded people...It's probably not cool to say it...but the 'high me' was a rather pleasant, entertaining, affable young man...until day 4...when I was a dribblin' horror...Looking now for the strength to be the same straight...but you can't have your cake and eat it...wouldn't swap now....the low's are over...wham balam...but so are the highs......sigh....au revoir mon petit highs...see you in the after party. xxx

Yah...I miss it...but working through that...
. I miss getting going fast, don't miss the landslide that follows. I like the "dribblin' horror" comment. Sum's it up pretty well.
