Hi cc8
I have 5 years too - congratulations
I figured drinking would kill me so I really needed to find out new ways to relax, or decompress, to have fun.
I find exercise really helps with stress...but I also found I really had to take a long look at my priorities and expectations - I let go a lot more things now than I used to - I try to worry a lot less, and I delegate a lot more. I try for a work/play, me/them balance - I don't always make it lol - but I try
As far as fun goes - I think the only real limit is our imagination.
I picked up a lot of old hobbies - like music & history - whatever your interests are really
Socially, I reconnected with a lot of old friends, and parted company with my drinking buds...
I enjoy low key things now...I think I only ever 'liked' parties because of the opportunities to get drunk, to be honest.
My life is quiet, but I enjoy it more than ever - it's a life that fits the authentic me, y'know?
Best wishes in finding the kind of life that fits the authentic you too
