I got sober at 36 and felt pretty boring too. I'll bet that someone who got sober at 45 also felt that way. I think that we all feel we're "giving up the party" when we quit, and for most of us that's a hard pill to swallow. Especially when we continue to surround ourselves with friends and social groups that drink, stay up late, and post on facebook about going to clubs.
Sorry you're feeling this way - but how does being a drinker make you "good enough"? You should feel pretty happy about your 8 months. As for being boring...well, who says you have to sit home knitting sweaters? You can travel, write, create art, take photographs, learn a new language or whatever the heck you want! Just go DO IT! Good luck and congrats on the time you've got under your belt so far, that's a great accomplishment.
