Congrats on a year!!! That's great!
There are many people who are NOT alcoholics and they DON'T drink. My alcoholic mind always tells me that EVERYONE drinks, but in reality, they don't.
Do you have any hobbies? A sport? Art? Music? Etc? If you could join a club or something that revolves around those things that would be a great way to meet people. OR are you religious? If so you could join a bible study?
I don't know....but I'm not sure I would go to the pubs if you are still jealous of people that can drink. I was sober for almost 6 years and was pissed about others being able to drink the entire time. It sucked! Anyway, that resentment finally caused me to relapse last fall & I am really struggling to put a few days together now. :-(
I promise you.....in case you forgot...because I did.....it's HELL out there! Drinking sucks! My worst day sober during that 6 years was still better than my best day drunk these last several months. I am NOT kidding!
I envy YOU! YOU have what I want! Continuous sobriety! Hang in there!
By the way, do you go to AA or any alcohol support groups?
