Not me.

I don't miss drinking, don't miss being drunk. I sometimes missed being able to mentally "check out" when uncomfortable feelings of anger or fear hit me, but I've learned I can cope with them without needing to check out. I cope with whatever is causing the anger and fear effectively (not possible when drinking), accept the feelings as being a temporary emotion.

I don't feel I'm missing out on any "fun" by not drinking, either. My concept of "fun" has changed.

Two and a half years sober (not long by some standards but long enough to have some perspective).
