Okay, why don't you bring this up with your doctor?

Trying to look for euphoria is an irrational idea, and your doctor will help you to realize this. It is not rational to try to get euphoria, because that isn't healthy. If something's good, you'll want to repeat it, even at the expense of long-term goals in your life.

You should instead focus on enjoying your loved ones' company this holiday, and be grateful those who still are around are there with you. Seeking euphoria, that's not good. Bad things happen when you let your guard down, and no drug will let you do this cleanly, as you want to think-- so you are definitely thinking on irrational terms there. You know what has happened when you let your guard down back when you were drinking, so do you really think it's rational to want to repeat that, or that it's rational to have the euphoria without the bad things that come with it?

Um, and when I say this I'm not trying to be mean.

But while we still haven't been kicked off the psycho-psycho babble board, I'd like to offer some cartoon from the New Yorker that was actually funny once. It said "the things that happen at the party 10 minutes after you leave" and it showed each person doing something unbelievably interesting. One was a group of friends huddled together, and one had their hand out and said, "I've just found these non-addicting, completely safe, euphoric pills, let's try some." =)
