Perhaps I need to find new, healthy, things I consider fun and exciting.
Sobriety doesn't equal staying in bored every night, we have to get away from believing the lie that alcohol is the centre of the social universe.
Do people who don't drink go out of their minds with boredom and have dull lives? no they don't, they do things just not with alcohol, activities, hobbies, they meet people, make new friends, go for coffee, walks etc etc!!
Sobriety is more than not drinking, every one of us would go insane if we just sat in and didn't drink, instead we need to carve out a new Sober lifestyle, that's the real challenge!!
