Nothing interests me anymore?!
Been sober for a month which i know is not much at all, and i heard of PAWS not sure if im suffering from it.. I am not depressed, i dont feel depressed i still function.
For a significant period of time i simply do not enjoy anything. You name it sex, watching sports, going to movies, a game etc etc.. I used to enjoy those things or at least some things, it used to bring some excitement..Nothing now, its like im on a flat line..Does it change, will it get better?! Or is this how life is when you get older... Its like living day by day each day passing by with nothing... I heard you supposed to enjoy life to some degree

I does get better!!!
I use to be such an outgoing person with the alcohol, loved the bars, loved listening to music, loved my friends, loved boating and golf, etc...
Now that I have been sober for almost 2 years, I don't even think abut my old friends that I use to think I loved, I could care less about them and thier many problems. I can't stand the bars - they are filled with undesireables to me now.
I use to think I was now boring, that I would never have a life again!!! But now it has gotten so much better. I started a magazine, I tried out for a play - and made it! I will be in It's a wonderful life - reherasls have started and the play is nov - dec -so excited! I am trying new things - something I would have never done while I was drinking. I joined Toastmasters,, I am forming new relationship with my kids, I am so much happier!!!
It took me approx 8 months to be really happy again, but what is 8 months out of the rest of my life?? I am experiencing miracles every day - expecting them.
Please don't give up - the best is yet to come!

A month is early. You didn't get to where your drinking brought you in a month...it will take a little more than a month to get better.
You addiction wants you to think that sobriety is akin to misery and boredom and that happiness can be found in a drink.
