Yeah, I felt a loss when I first quit drinking. I think tht is because it was the highlight of my day. The secret is to find other things to be happy about. That doesnt take long...I got a lot more energy and some long-gone interests that had been unavailable to me because drinking and hangovers that became my life. Stay sober. You will eventually become your old self and find happiness in things you never consider when you are drinking. Rearrange your life and how you spend your time. Find some sober friends. Realign your priorities. Find the respect for yourself that has been missing. That is the stuff that makes life worth living. Best wishes. Oh - and it takes time...won't happen overnight, so you have to hang in there!
