I still have this great sense of missing out. Not getting my share of fun.
I don't know...... I think it's normal to miss it every once in a while. If you seriously feel you're missing something in your life though, maybe it's time to look for some new answers(?). Drinking is only going to take you back to hell (and you'll get there a lot faster this time).

To be honest, I think that at some point in sobriety we need to get past our old ideas of "fun." Drinking isn't about fun anyway - it's just a temporary, chemically-induced state. It's actually a way of avoiding the responsibility we have for our own happiness. Life can be about purpose and meaning, too..... doing things for others, becoming the best we can be, etc. etc......

Is there a chance you're going through some depression? Don't give in, Tendencies...... you'll never know what good things might be coming your way if you do.
