I totally get you and it's very common to have these feelings. Over time I guess it will be easier and you will build up fun experiences that don't involve alcohol. So I guess it will get better over time. Don't worry too much about it never happening again, just take it one day at a time.
I'm 5 years sober now and I still sometimes miss it. But I have other things I enjoy and give fulfillment. And, I really don't miss all the negative parts of drinking like doing stuff you regret, not being able to drive home, the two day hangovers (hangovers get worse the older you get) etc etc
So I think you just have to give it more time.
Hope this helps!
"Just take it one day at a time" is excellent advice. Thanks!
