Well I'm almost 10 months into my sobriety..I don't think I've been sober this long ever! I had a dream I drank again last night. It's been awhile. I'm still antisocial, still zero interest in dating. I've been celibate as long as I've been sober:thinking:
without the lube of alcohol I'm relatively a boring person who has a house, job, new puppy, summer tan and enjoying all the freedoms of this life. I think about how in a instant it could of all be taken from me. Glass half full eh? One day at a time:heartpulse:

Now that you're "boring" without the "excitment" of the joys of drinking, like wrecking your car, jail/court/fines, waking up next to an ugly person, you're free to get into hobbies that you miss, or find new ones, or travel, or date normally, not just aŝşholes from "the bar".

As the old timers told me.
“They will gladly refund your misery at the local bar”
I mistook boring for what was actually serenity. Zero drama takes a little getting used to.

I am living the SAME exact way and here I am 2 years sober! It’s honestly the most peaceful I’ve ever been and I’m loving every minute of it. Idgaf if I’m boring to anyone, they’re opinions no longer matter.

You’re not being boring, you’re living life!! You’ll find that you’re much happier, I know I sure am. It’s been almost 2 years for me and I occasionally have a drinking dream as well.

Wow, thank you Lisa Marie and all who added to this post. I actually thought something was wrong with me.
Two months away from 3 years.
Get up, workout, go to work, make dinner, read, go for a walk, do hobbies and stuff around the house. That’s my world and I am happy.
I keep thinking I should want more but the bills are paid, I spend time with my girls and I do things, healthy things, for me. I have everything I need and want. Life might be boring but life is really good.

Just keep going; no matter what. Do not limit what is possible for yourself by glazing over reality.

As my sponsor tells me when I call him to complain about something I'm having trouble with... "it's nice to have good problems now, huh!"

I’m with you, just over 10 months and still isolating and can’t seem to get out of the house. While I’m not exactly ecstatic about life all the time, I try to remember the roller coaster of ups and downs I used to put myself through and be thankful and proud that I’m not willing to trade this feeling of dullness for the momentary relief of drinking it away and the chaos that inevitably follows. Keep on keepin on, we’ll all find the peace we seek one day.

If drinking were interesting and fun I'd still he doing it. If doing nothing but focusing on good health, a pup, and self care is boring than I am boring too. I love my new quiet life. No need to waste anymore time. I woke up today naturally at 430 and played tennis at 6. Would never have done this 9 months ago. Keep living your one life for yourself first and when the right person comes along you will know.
