Im 1 month and 23 days sober, Im finding that nothing i used to love doing is enjoyable anymore. I have no energy or drive to do anything. Even the act of listening feels like something that is beyond me. Does this feeling go away?

You know, it is very normal to feel like that, I was like a deer in the headlights at first, had no clue how to be happy, it feels impossible to smile, or have a conversation. I couldn't think of anything to say, I spent most of my time lost in my thoughts, questioning whether I will ever have fun again. It's important to know, this does go away! You are not alone. Stay on the path and good things are coming your way soon.

CONGRATULATIONS on your 53 days of sobriety.
The great part about sobriety is that you are provided the opportunity to live two lives in one lifetime.
Before you got sober, Randy 1.0 was "enjoying" everything because you were drinking/using. At times things got out of hand or you blacked out. You either woke up in jail or in someone else's bed.
Now that Randy 2.0 is on the market what you thought was enjoyable is not. Mainly because it doesn't contain alcohol/drugs.
You're only 53 days sober. You're adjusting to the clarity of life. There will be an adjustment for the better in the long run.
You're going to get to a point in time when you'll realize that what you "thought" was fun really wasn't.
You got this my friend.
You can do this.
