The aftermath of getting sober

I'm getting closer to wanting out of this addiction. Until recently I had no desire to, so wouldn't even entertain the idea as I know that won't stick, but it's coming up fast.

I want to get back into the things I did in my late teens / early 20's, gaming, listening to music, watching movies / anime, and just normal things to enjoy my free time.

I am highly concerned that I'm going to spend yearsss with the mindset "This would be so much better on pills" and just unable to ever fully enjoy my free time because there will always be that voice inside me that understands how good opiates feel, and that I'll never be fully satisfied living a sober life after having experienced this.

Have you sober kings come out the other side of this and how does it feel now?
