I wanted to make this post to discuss a unique feeling i have. Im curious if anyone can relate.

So, I've been sober 3 years now and its been great. But every so often ill get an impulse to drink or partake in some drug. However, i immediately know that if i did give in, it wouldn't be as great as my mind is telling me it would be.

Its really what has kept me sober so long. I know the taste of a shot is going to be gross and the brief pleasure or even a bender would be substantially outshined by the shame and regret of the night before.

Yet, I still crave. Such an odd feeling to have. Maybe its nostalgia for the good ol times of self destruction? Idk. Let me know if you can relate. ​
