Renvate, I am in exactly the same place you are. I am at 53 days and struggling with wanting to drink.

At first I had that "pink cloud" effect of sobriety, I was meeting so many people and going to meetings and I had this exciting feeling that I was finally doing something good.

Now...socializing isn't all that great all the time. Sometimes it feels awkward, or just boring. It feels like something is missing, you're right.

I don't wanna go back to drinking either. But sometimes I'm just not so crazy about the sober life. Somehow eating donuts and smoking cigarettes and talking to people just isn't as rivetting as drinking was.

Someone told me that the opposite of addiction is connection, and I think that's true. Even if I don't love every minute of making new friends and going to activities, it's better than drinking.

I think it's good you're posting on here. We're almost at 60 days. Let's not throw that away. I think this phase will pass.
