Hi, GreenSweater, love your screen name and avatar.
Welcome.
When I first became sober I was unhappy that I couldn’t drink anymore and envious of those who could.
But...drinking was not good for me and my marriage and I knew it.
So changes had to be made.
Over time, I came to see that drinking was overrated, and I didn’t miss it anymore.
I spent some time in AA, which helped.
Ultimately not the program for me, but really helped a lot in the beginning.
I have been in recovery for about six years now.
I practice yoga, get exercise, try to get outside as much as I can.
Some meditation, tho I struggle.
I think all things, good and bad, pass in time.
Just don’t drink, and try not to worry about other people.
Peace.
