Amy, congratulations on quitting drinking. And for coming to terms with whatever sobriety means for you, not for anyone else. In terms of social media, I remain very happy no longer being on Facebook and Instagram (or any other social media). I don’t miss them. I find I fill the time with real things. For example, I’m certain that I would have read fewer good books, and not started finally learning to cook decent Indian food, were I still on social media. My handful of real friends are still in my life, and I’ve stopped viewing beautiful moments through the lens of my iPhone camera. The sweetest moments have a sense of privacy again, and privacy, as I’m re-learning, is actually a rather nice way to experience intimacy with the present. It’s a gentler pace of living, for sure. An unintended consequence of this whole thing is that I don’t need to fill all the silences anymore. I can run an errand without turning on the news or radio. I can drive to work in the morning and experience that quiet time as a brief connection with myself and the sunrise. These changes happened naturally as I detoxed from the digital world. A podcast episode that really struck me, related to all of this, was https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/the-ezra-klein-show/cal-newport-has-an-answer-LhSUVHkgWD2/. Perhaps you would enjoy it. I wish you the best in figuring out for yourself what elements in your daily environment support you now that alcohol isn’t distorting the picture. Thanks for your kind comments, too.
