Well I'm afraid in the process of asking said question, you've answered your own question my friend. When will life be fun? Well, never. Life is hard. It's intended to chew us up and spit us out. Now, joy?? That's very obtainable. What you're seeing on these accounts is people who know that life is hard... But they choose to stop and find the beauty in the experience. If you're sitting on your hands, staring at the wall waiting for someone to tell you what's fun - you're going to have a miserable experience. Instead - shift your mind to a place where joy isn't only given to us by false chemical triggers brought on by drinking or coke. I can promise you, I've had highs in sobriety that drugs or booze could never touch. Brcause they've been real. They've been genuine, and I could feel with every inch of my soul. Emotions are powerful to sober folks. Good and bad. Shed the mindset that you're a drunk living in a sober world and transition instead into thinking that you're a sober guy surrounded by a world of intrigue. Be willing to be child like. Be curious. Discover new things. Things you never knew you even liked. Once your fascination for life is stoked, your won't have time to think of booze or drugs anymore. Because the world is an amazing place. There'll always be heartache and turmoil. And not everyday will be full of joy. Because that's not realistic. Life still sucks a lot. And often. But man, to be alive and present is a huge gift when those moments reveal themselves.
Fun and happiness will return, it just takes some time. Our bodies get so used to a substance providing that for us, that once we get off the substance we have to kinda re-train ourselves to do life sober. Kinda like getting back to being a kid again, except now we have certain responsibilities. But nobody can or should tell you that life shouldn’t or can’t be fun! Just gotta get on a positive mindset and maybe even step outside your comfort zone to trying something new and challenging! Reach out if you need to chat or anything. I’m always available
