It doesn't matter if you don't remember who you were, you're reinventing who you are. There's an entire universe full of things to do, to try. The smart ass side of me wants to simply say "Dom.. it's only been 2 weeks, you drank for HOW long?". It took me MONTHS to feel sane enough to even try new recreational/fun things sober. My body and mind had to recover from some pretty heavy duty unhealthy **** I had been doing to them for so many years. Another smart ass response: "Only boring people get bored".. I GET IT.. you don't know how to live sober yet. You just don't. You're learning, but it's such a process. Don't feel like you should be all super involved in some glorious sober life now that you haven't drank in 2 weeks.. give yourself a break.. life is much harder sober (at first). Be kind to yourself. You're inventing the person you're going to be, it doesn't matter who you were anymore.
