I think alot of people are under the impression that getting sober, by itself, will lead to happiness and a better life. It will make you feel better physically and clear your head. But after a few months there is a "what now" feeling that pops up. You can only get so sober. Finding activities that provide Joy or happiness is key to maintaining sobriety without becoming miserable. Alot of us used drinking as one of or maybe our only source of relaxation. It's important to find a healthy replacement for it. Could be anything, somebody mentioned woodworking, could be painting, working around the house, writing, video games, anything!
