You need to "play the tapes" all the way thru, from start to finish. Yes, you can remember getting high, but do you remember the END -- when the high 'ran out" and you came down? Do you remember how crappy you felt? Do you remember the dumb things you said or did? Do you remember the wild attempts at GETTING your drugs of choice? Like I said, play the tapes from start to finish. It's not always a pretty sight.
I quit drinking almost 19 years ago -- it will be 19 yrs in one week from today, God willing. I haven't had an "urge" in many years, but when i did I always remembered the hangovers, and falling in love with the toilet. I remembered how HORRIBLE I looked and felt the next day - if I could REMEMBER the next day. 
Being straight/sober is a heck of a lot better than being high/drunk. My life is 100 times better than it was. How about YOURS??
