What a terrific thread - so sorry I missed this last night. Such good advice and encouragement for Ohme.
Those first few weeks are tough going, no way around it. I drank for decades, & in the early days of quitting I had a terrible fear of missing out. Drinking wasn't an option, as I was slowly killing myself. But I was so afraid of never enjoying anything again. Maybe because I'd never given myself chance to react to things normally, without my 'buffer'. As children we had great times without having to be anesthetized - and we can do it again. You're in the process of reclaiming your life, ohme - and you're doing great.
