romanticizing the drink...

𝕋𝕆ℕ𝕀𝔾ℍ𝕋  𝕆ℕ  ℤ𝕆𝕆𝕄: The Dangers of Romancing the Drink 

This type of reminiscing is not a harmless activity. Most people in recovery will experience such memories now and again, but the problem occurs when such memories are indulged in. 

The individual may begin to ponder if things really were so bad when they were drinking or using. They may wonder if they are just depriving themselves of the one thing that brought their life pleasure.

Romancing the drink is usually one of the final stages in the relapse process. 

Here the individual has become stuck in recovery, and they are beginning to suffer as a result. The sober life begins to feel unsatisfactory. 

The individual now remembers how alcohol or drugs once allowed them to escape their problems. This type of thinking powers people out of recovery and back into substance abuse
