Living sober is the best substitute possible. No quibbles in my head about when, if, how many etc.

I didn’t think I could ever relax and think about life over a nice cup of green tea.
But I can.
That alcohol thing is just a lie to me.

I never thought a builder from a coal mining town could do this. Think I broke the mould :)

Good luck in your quest

Yes!
 

As soberista says, live! See the movies you have not seen, read the books you need to read, talk to the friends you have! Travel. Exercise.
