I know that feeling of being wired to need the drink to have fun. I know the feeling of sober boredom. It stinks...
In a way, you are wired this way -from the habit. If you can have a little bit of faith and patience, this will change dramatically as your head adjusts to not needing the chemical kick.
I was so tired of all the drama that I took another's advice and sat down with my boredom. I dared it to outlast me. It threw a tantrum (which sucked) and now I think I really have MORE fun than my drinking friends. I remember it too.
Have faith that if you stay sober long enough THIS WILL PASS.
