Romanticizing the Drink: Missing the Fun… or Missing the Numb?

Do you ever catch yourself looking back on your drinking days and thinking they were “so much fun”? I used to believe that too — until I realized what I was really missing wasn’t the drink… it was the luxury of not feeling anything just numb. In this honest talk, I unpack why so many of us in recovery romanticize drinking — even after years of sobriety — and how to stop falling for the highlight reel our mind keeps playing. We’ll look at the lies we tell ourselves (“I was more fun,” “I was more confident,” “Life was more exciting”) and uncover what’s really underneath those thoughts — unhealed pain, avoidance, and the illusion of control. Sobriety doesn’t take away your personality. It reveals your soul. And when you build a life that feels peaceful, grounded, and real — you stop craving the chaos you once escaped into. 💛 In this video, we’ll cover: • Why our brains romanticize drinking and forget the chaos • How to “play the tape through” when cravings or nostalgia hit • The difference between chemical confidence and authentic confidence • How emotional sobriety sets you free from craving your old life ✨ Remember: You’re not missing the drink. You’re remembering a version of yourself who didn’t yet know peace without it. #Sobriety #EmotionalSobriety #RomanticizingTheDrink #SoberSoulRising #DryDrunkSyndrome #HealingInSobriety 00:00 Intro 01:01 Lies we tell ourselves 01:17 I was more fun when I was drinking 01:34 I was more confident when I was drinking 02:02 I was funnier when I was drinking 02:44 My life was more exciting drinking 03:12 Why do we create these stories 03:28 What is it we’re really missing 04:00 Highlight reels 04:56 Tools to stop romancing the drink 05:03 Get real about your story 05:34 Play it ALL the way through 06:13 Get support 07:01 Sobriety isn’t about perfection 07:34 Gifts of Sobriety 08:00 Next Steps
