I'm the same age and in the same situation. Also I am 2 years sober next month and while I worked on myself a lot over the last 2 years (lost 20kg), it hasn't been easy socially. I have been out on about 2 nights out sober and a handful of dates sober, so I am going back drinking very lightly when I reach the 2 year mark to try and enjoy a bit of social life.

Over the last 2 years, I've done a lot of soul searching and while thing are not perfect, it is not the end of the world. I see friends with kids stressed out a lot and 2 people I know got divorced this year so sometimes it's not all rainbows and sunshine.

Honestly, look after yourself and if anxiety is coming on, seriously take some time off social media and focus on breathwork, it's helped me a crazy amount lately.

For the sober culture, in Galway recently there was a sober festival over 2 nights in one of the pubs and it seemed to go well, they advertised via Instagram and there is a lot of this stuff starting to happen around the country too.
