Here are some potential strategies for dealing with FOMO:

Find Sober Activities: Seek out social activities and hobbies that don't involve alcohol. Engaging in alternative forms of recreation can help fill the void left by alcohol-related events.
Build a Support System: Surround yourself with friends and support groups that are understanding and supportive of your decision to quit alcohol. These connections can help alleviate feelings of isolation and FOMO.
Educate Yourself: Learn about the health benefits of sobriety and the potential risks associated with alcohol consumption. Understanding the reasons behind your decision to quit can reinforce your commitment.
Practice Self-Care: Focus on self-improvement and self-care. Sobriety can provide the opportunity to work on personal goals and well-being.
Limit Social Media Exposure: If social media triggers feelings of FOMO, consider reducing your exposure to alcohol-related content or unfollowing accounts that promote excessive drinking.
Seek Professional Help: If FOMO or alcohol cravings become overwhelming, consider seeking support from a therapist or counselor with experience in addiction and recovery.

Ultimately, quitting alcohol is a HUGE positive & a life-changing decision, and addressing FOMO is part of the process of adapting to a sober lifestyle.

Over time, you'll find that you can enjoy fulfilling and meaningful experiences without alcohol... and that the benefits of sobriety far outweigh any *perceived* missed opportunities!
