For a while, your brain is still kind of ‘wired’ to associate booze with all your fun activities. It just takes some time for that association to go away. But let me tell you- it is worth it. Once you get to the other side, shit gets fun again- like really fun. I started listening to music, doing my hobbies, watching movies, playing video games, playing music, and watching tv shows with a whole new appreciation. You realize that all that cool stuff you like is actually inherently cool and enjoyable on its own, and the booze wasn’t really adding anything.
