What is life like after being sober for good?

I am a 27 year old guy and I am wondering if anyone else has defeated an addiction to alcohol and drugs and found a better life as a result. I have a great career....and thats about it. Due to 12 years of alcohol abuse I've racked up numerous run ins with the law and my most recent legal issue has ended my life socially and financially. I just couldn't seem to moderate my intake I guess, no matter how hard I tried to keep cool. I don't sleep much anymore just thinking about all the people I've hurt or let down as a result of my bs and trying to drink socially. With alcohol out of the picture it's like...sure I have my sobriety but what the hell am I going to do on New Years, St patty's day and every other fun event that involves drinking. It's like I drink and I'm fine for a while until I get too out of hand and get arrested for some dumb sh*t or I stay sober and I'm completely isolated no friends or going out and having fun just home alone watching movies being fu*king miserable wondering about how much fun all my friends are having. Soooo is there anyone out there that faced a similar dilemma at some point and then found a fun lifestyle that didn't involve going out and drinking with friends??? I appreciate any advice or experience you may have to offer :) Thanks
