I became antisocial BECAUSE I drank. I don't know how far you are into alcoholism. But in my case I got too plowed to go out into public. Mostly because I had to drive home. But also because I drank to the point I couldn't stand up.
Drinking isn't going to solve anything. It will cost money, hangover, and you will regret it when you sober up.
The reason nothing was fun for me anymore was because of alcohol. I really was walking around in a fog even during the day when I wasn't drinking.
I have been sober 8 months, and it really is like learning to live over again.
I am doing things I havn't done in years. I am watching TV shows I didn't know existed because I used to get too drunk to follow a simple TV show.
Give it some time.
Alcohol is telling you you need to drink.
The reality is most people don't need booze to have fun. When you drink you hang out with people that drink. Soooo when you quit you feel like an outcast, and you have a big empty spot.
Give it a chance, it takes work.
