PolarBlue...this is a very normal feeling. Boredom....when will I EVER have fun again, experience REAL excitement and joy?
It takes time, but I promise you – it will come if you commit to building a new life without alcohol.
Addiction hijacks our brain and dopamine levels, and leaves our whole perception of fun (well, everything, really), screwed.
There is no gap or hole in my life anymore. It isn't a constant battle to fill the gaps - huge gaps, of time that consuming alcohol filled. I sit in peace, the beast doesn't knock at my door. Getting sober was the hardest thing I've ever done, painful, scary and everything in between.
Get yourself a new routine, fake it til you make it! Mine was a movie at the cinema every Saturday night, amongst other things. There are so many things I stopped doing when drinking, I had to relearn what I enjoyed all over again.
You can too.
