I think about this and I think about how we like to think about "missing out". I do believe that along with being sober it is imperative to have a positive outlook on the mission.
Instead of the things that you will miss, think about all that you will gain. You can still stay up late around a fire. You can still play poker. You can go to parties. You can do it all. You can do those things and find the joy in it without alcohol. Life is not some hum drum boring road without partaking in alcohol.
Just a few nights ago, my husband and I were laughing hysterically over cutting his hair. I was having so much fun and laughing so hard that tears were running down my face. It was 100 percent pure joy. It was fun and it was sober.
Mindset. Perspective. Its not a loss.
