I have more fun now than I ever had as a drinker
If you mean people just plain flat out don't like me - that used to upset me greatly as a drinker and newly sober person...but it doesn't worry me anymore - my validation doesn't come from how others relate to me anymore.

Its a good place to be when your validation doesn't come from others...I'm getting there and that is something I have been working on for 5 years..drunk or sober...I have to reassure myself I don't need others to validate how I feel...but sober I am getting there quicker
