There's a saying that you get hungry by eating.
I thought there was no way I could enjoy a party without drinking. Then I tried it and it was fine from the start. I focused on being outgoing the way I was when drunk, and I found I could be outgoing while sober too.
I thought I might not need alcohol to party but I need it to relax by myself. Then I tried it. It took a bit longer to be honest, but I found ways to relax without drinking. It took some trial and error, but it is possible. Try new activities, new foods and beverages, new types of shows, something will click.
Good luck
P.S.

This is off-topic but... I don't have to imagine it. I've done rock-climbing drunk, and I mean
really drunk. I don't recommend it.
