Well, if I were truly enjoying my life while drinking, I would just keep on drinking. I think the issue there at least for me, was that any "joy" for me was just a lie to myself. Drinking brought me misery of some sort each and every time. There may have been the short-lived elation/buzz that alcohol brings initially, but it was short-lived. So, that leaves me only one option for joy and that is without alcohol. So what do I do for fun or joy? I can do everything else. Drinking limited me. I personally find that exercise and healthy eating are not just something that help, but are necessary for me to have "joy" and manage stress and anxiety. There are a million things one can do in life when not limited by an addiction. I can't really recommend as I don't know what you might be interested in doing. I guess I would just say get out and become involved in life.
