I guess I just wanted to be normal, period. LOL. I don't even know what that means but somewhere inside my head is a "normal" template that other people fit and I never have - drinking or sober. That's okay though. I think normal may equate with "boring."
I think maybe it's harder for younger people who are trying to create a social circle than us "older alcoholics" who've settled in to a homey-type life though. So much of social interaction seems to take place in the vicinity of alcohol.
Anyway, I'm envious of your SCUBA hobby. We tried it once. My husband was as happy as clam at the bottom of the ocean and there are so many neat things to see. But no matter what I did, I was pretty sure an eardrum was about to burst. I'll have to settle for snorkeling.
