Let's see, just this weekend I did these things 100% sober-

Friday night GF and I went out to dinner with 15 sober people after our AA meeting. The conversation and laughter were non-stop.

GF and I went to a BBQ/pool party on Saturday night with 4 other sober couples. We swam, laughed, ate, drank soda and energy drinks, had dessert, it was so great to be in their company.

On Sunday morning GF and I took a 300 mile motorcycle ride. Even went to a town that used to be one of my major party haunts. We had a nice lunch and went shopping there. It was a hot ride and our butts were sore, but the day was a total blast.

Sobriety is what I make it. I can isolate and it sucks, or I can reach out and join in the fun, then it's better than I ever dreamed it could be. Not fun? Naaah. But it takes work, only you can make it fun with a little help from friends in recovery.
