Ha, when you're feeling confident, go to a bar and spend some time around drunks. You probably weren't nearly as fun as you think you were. I know I wasn't, lol...
As for not having fun anymore, that's definitely hogwash. You'll soon see that for yourself. I go to concerts, to bars, to ball games—it's all way more fun. It's so great to actually relax and just enjoy the moment instead of obsessing over my next drink, when to stop, whether I can manage just one more... and on and on. Drinking is so tedious. I now realize that the actual experience of drinking was nothing like the romanticized notions generated by my AV.
As for the Big Plan, now that's a great topic.
I submit that it only looks hard when you're standing on that side of it. Now that I'm on this side, I realize that committing to "never" was the very thing that made my AV sooooo much easier to manage.
Great posts, AG. Your thoughts and fears are very familiar to me. I think it's all part of the great AVRT awakening.
