55 days sober against how many thousands of days drinking?
I drank for over 20 years before stopping. I didn't know what to do with myself either.
How could I know what being sober was like? I hadn't lived that way since I was a kid.
It takes time, it's not some automatic process. Once you get used to the fact that you don't need a drink to have fun things start to fall into place.
For the first year the only thing I did was focus on not drinking, that's all I could really do. Now in the second year I cannot believe how clear my mind is and how nice it is to enjoy the day.
