That's all.
TomSteve's answer is far from flippant. It really gets to the crux of the matter about an alcoholics' relationship with alcohol. Look at answer 2:
"there aint no fun without alcohol"
Isn't this right where you are, right now? The fear that there will be no more "fun" in your life?
And the subsequent answers..."whatever i want" in regards to what do you do for fun, Tom is just stating that because of recovery, alcohol has been taken completely out of the equation.
We can do whatever we want, without alcohol, and have fun. Sounds like a wonderful answer to me. Sorry you didn't see it that way.
