Welcome back. Another Deadhead I see
Yeah I always felt that I was missing out on life sober too.
I could only remember how to live a drinking life, so it was inevitable I felt deprived...
You have to build a sober life you love.
Get sober, stay sober, and the hard bit, be happy about it. Think back to the things that used to make you happy before drinking took over. What were/are your hopes and dreams?
Where do you want to go? Who do you want to be?
Accept that all this, any change, is only possible through staying sober.
Always remember it’s the first drink that starts the madness - avoid the first drink and you give your sober life every chance of taking root and flourishing!
