Lost of interest is a sign of depression, since alcohol cause depression can be normal while not drinking, eating healthily and doing exercise with a bit of an effort, should get you out this mood.

I agree that depression can cause loss of interest but I wouldn't say you'll just snap out if it. You should speak with a counselor if it persists. I have zero interest in anything anymore myself.

I know this feeling all to well, Ive been sober for 5 years, try this, this seem to help with me, once a week, u pick the day and dont cx it. with the money that you would spend on booze, go and get medi/pedicure, then the next week, go get a new hair cut/style, the next week, if you love dogs go volunteer at the shelter, very rewarding and youll most likely want to do more than once a week after a while, Do this for you, you need to reward yourself, thats just as important as staying sober, hope this helped, good luck
