"I guess I'm in a funk because although the bad effects of drinking have stopped, I'm not seeing enough positive from it yet to convince myself that it's worth giving up the social activities and "fun"."
Hi.
One positive from not drinking is you won’t be in an alcoholic misery lifestyle and die an horrible alcoholics death.
It depend on the person but we do get much better when we want to be sober and work on it and long term sobriety. Relapses are not nice and most don’t recover from them because alcohol is powerful, baffling, cunning and very progressive, meaning if we drink it gets worse, much more than we could imagine.
BE WELL
