Seems like chronically sober people have no sense of fun.
With addicts that have become sober, everything revolves around their sobriety.
I understand why.
But naturally, they're not alot of fun to be around if you're not a recovering addict or a chronically sober individual.
The majority of clean addicts don't live their lives around their sobriety. I know I don't and the people in my recovery group don't.
I think the reason it appears that way to you is that you are still in denial somewhat. It makes it easier to use if you have a reason not to be sober/clean.
The final thing is this: those who identify themselves as sober are obviously going to speak about this a lot. Clearly this is part of their identity. Those that identify sober as part of their life, like me, are around you all the time. Since we don't speak about it outside of meetings (AA, SMART etc) you wouldn't know that is part of us. All you know is that we are happy people.
