I'm not sure how long you've been sober, but give yourself some time. It really is a whole new way of life. Try to find new ways of doing things. If you usually read in bed, trying reading on the couch. If you only listen to music at a club, trying listening out in the park. Create new sober experiences to replace the old ones. When I was new in the recovery (the first time) I was blessed to have changed everything in my life - people, places, and things - so a lot was easier for me. But I can still remember things like having sex sober for the first time, going dancing and not drinking. All of these things felt awkward at first, but before long, they became second nature. Good luck on your journey and remember "one day at a time"
