ALWAYS think I’m “missing the fun”
is it really fun tho? drinking stopped being fun for me decades before I quit.
I've heard it expressed as FOMO Fear Of Missing Out and thats exactly what it really is - Fear.
We fear change, and we fear we'll lose out from that change.
There's about a 100 thousand folks here who can assure you that noone would stay sober if they lost out on the deal.
I have more fun now than I ever dis drinking, and active social life, and I follow my dreams. I never wake up ashamed but not remembering the night before and I never have to cancel things because I'm too drunk to do them.
As a drinker I waited to die...now I wake full of the promise of a new day, and I look forward to whatever my future brings.
I look at my niece and nephew and wonder when the heck did they become adults.
I was actually missing out on nearly everything as a drinker - Ironic.
