I haven’t drank or smoked weed for 10+ months (work mandated) and good goddamn nothing is “fun” anymore.
Brehs that stopped drinking, what do you do to have fun? Is it ever the same again?
Breh, I’ve been completely sober for over a year now. Let me be honest here, no the fun in life has gone away. I used to drink to be able to get loose and hang out with people. I did that for so long, I don’t remember how to have fun without drinking or doing drugs. I’m a boring ass person now. I’m introverted by nature, and I have little desire to hang out with people. I don’t know how.
People are like, meet new friends at AA. Man, I don’t want to hang out with most AA folks. I like the program, and it’s helped me stay sober, but I don’t wanna hang out with these people. So, I don’t.
However, not drinking or hanging out with people has allowed me to be able to focus better than I ever have in my life. I was like working at 10% when I was drinking, and now I’m at 100%. Breh, I’m like the most effective and efficient as ever. I wrote a 40page report in a day at work last week
So, I’m just about my job and my money now. Hopefully I’ll figure out how to hangout with people, start dating again (I’ve passed the one year sober mark, so it’s cool), etc.
But for real, not drinking has turned me into a boring ass introvert.
But, it’s better than the complete mess of my life when I was drinking. No more blacking out, no more shaking, no more acting all crazy. Honestly, I like this life now better than when I was a complete drunk.
