I do not miss slurring, stumbling, the room spinning, vomiting, being stoned around my kid, smelling like dope, hangovers, making a fool of myself, driving drunk, drunk texting, drunk drama, ridiculously expensive bar tabs, wasting time, wasted days, getting pulled over, worried about getting pulled over, not remembering the things I said or did or associating with people that drink at all
Sorry, but this is not "normal." This is dysfunctional.
My advice?
Start setting some goals.
Give some thought to running a 5k and then training for it. Learn a second language or teach an inner city kid how to read. Join a league. Paint your house. Coach a little league team. Your life will take on a greater sense of purpose only when you start thinking on a higher level.
Sobriety does get better over time. Especially when you consciously do things that strengthen your resolve to remain sober.
