Fun in sobriety? Humm...well, I got sober at the age of 35 and my 20's were gone.
When I got sober I wasn't looking for fun (I already was in a relationship) as much as I was a way to earn a decent living. I was broke, living in a flop house and going nowhere. The only good thing I had was a girlfriend who was on the verge of leaving me.
In sobriety I've done everything I talked about doing when I was drinking.
Granted not much panned out but it wasn't for a lack of trying. And although I'm still working hard for a living there's been midlife crisis for me.
