Hey joyfullysober-
Your topic is one that I've been sort of struggling with myself. After 16 months of not drinking, I am finding many things to be enjoyable, however I'm not yet enjoying a lot of the things that I once did. Admittedly they were centered around booze (Dinners out, weekend get togethers and the like). I think this is a fairly common issue, at least from what I've gathered from this site.
I posted a similar topic myself almost a month ago titled;
"Does Sobriety Mean Less Excitement?" http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...xcitement.html
For me, I am finding that it seems to be getting better. I think as time goes by, I am finding less of a need for the booze to still enjoy myself. Most of this is pretty much centered around my social life, as all of the other aspects are much better without booze.
Things should improve with time, so hang in there. There's no doubt that living sober far outweighs being drunk, so there's really no other option. At least for me.
