It was only with quite a bit of reflection that I realized, despite drinking every day for the last 3 years, there had only been 2-3 times when it was actually fun.
The hard part for me is knowing that I can't go back to drinking for fun - not only was it not really fun, but if I were drinking I would get so focused on the harm I could be doing to myself, will I withdrawal badly again, neuropathy, etc. etc. So the hard part is finding those other things for gratification.
While I don't have a silver bullet, I have discovered new things: AA group with a fellowship dinner to follow, meditation, and picking up old hobbies that my addiction had pushed away (fishing, exercise, surfing, hiking). It's not a perfect replacement yet, but it shows signs of getting there.
