Welcome to "ism" of alcohol-ism. It will probably take you some time to figure it out but you will never enjoy the same old thrills again. About the only thing that will give you a sense of purpose now is helping others like yourself recover.
If you don't believe it, try doing some 12th step work and see how it affects your equanimity?
