Hey OP. I'm 23 years old and I have 25 days sober. I understand what you mean but at the same time I think you just need to re-adjust your thinking a bit. I go to the movies, out to dinner, shopping, to meetings, and soon will be getting back into dancing/clubbing with my AA fellows and the few friends that I chose to remain in my life during recovery. At first, yes I thought I would have to give up the fun parts of my life but now I see that being sober actually enbles me to do more than before anyways. I suggest you get out to as many meetings as you can so you can meet lots of people and hopefully many in your age group! It'll take work and some adjustment but sobriety is as with anything in life what you make of it. Bottomline is do you desire to stop drinking MORE than you desire to drink? If so, you can find enjoyment trust me!
