Learning to have fun again without alcohol
When I was a kid I could have a great time sober (luckily for my parents). I was fairly outgoing. In lots of school activities, went on trips across the country, cub scouts, martial arts, etc. I had a great time.
Unfortunately, most of my adult life has revolved around alcohol. I admit I made some extremely fun memories. People tell stories of how funny I was this time or that. Continued to go on trips. Laughed at stupid things. And also made some really horrible memories that will haunt me forever. Every time I think of the bad I get somewhat of a shock-wave through my body of sadness, embarrassment, and regret.
My question is, do you ever enjoy things again as much as you did while drinking? Did you take any steps to help this along or just allow it to happen naturally? As of now the thought of doing anything sober seems so dull.
