For me, I would say that the question whether sobriety brings less or more excitement is not the relevant one. I cannot compare it that way, in terms of quantity, because even after ~10 months my lifestyle, my perceptions, my judgment are very very different. Especially recently... It's much more a quality issue. Yeah of course there was a certain kind of excitement in drinking life, I would say even in the craziest phases. Excitement of insanity
I personally
much prefer the type of excitement my sober life has yielded so far and have absolutely zero longing for any part of the past now. You mentioned social life: I actually have a lot more social life now than last year or the year before, prior to getting sober. No need for alcohol in it at all.
