And now you're 49er!
half century tomorrow Pouncer! (Too soon Wisc?)
Wisc, I went through a similar thing for a while, my enjoyment of some situations just wasn't the same without drinking, but a also as you said, we can grow emotionally away from some things. It's worth considering PAWS might be having an effect on you.
Also I went through a very real grieving process during the first year, I had lost my 'best friend' who shared my highs and lows. I was having to make very real adjustments emotionally without the 'support' of alcohol.
You are doing so well Wisc, remember to note these things to talk to your shrink about, it may also be something to consider regarding medication. And keep close to SR.
( as much because we love seeing you as anything else!)
