Hobbies and friends help, but it will take time. I went through a similar thing years ago, and it's hard remembering how to be your own person with agency again. I joined a few local games groups and started cooking and exercising.
Congrats, you get to fall in love with yourself this time. Go out on dates and figure out what you like. Treat yourself the way you always wanted to be treated. Find a hobby, try new things, be spontaneous, be scheduled, be whoever you want to become, and love the new you. :)
Love yourself. Take yourself on dates. Be alone with yourself. Learn what you like. Try to find out who you are devoid of others. It can be challenging, and also very rewarding.

It takes time to find your balance, so enjoy with moderation.

Try not to drink alone too much out of boredom...it's a slippery slope.

Get a therapist, get good at being the best you while solo, only invite people in who enhance that.

Neither did I, buddy. But it turns out the answer is “enjoy”.

Meanwhile I've been single for over 25 years and have absolutely every idea what to do with myself.

You've been making accommodations in your own life for others. It's going to be tough to adapt, but we believe in you! Do the THING.

My brother went to Hawaii after his divorce and became a beach bum. Something to think about.

Is this a recommendation or a cautionary tale?
CaptainStinkyVonPoopberg
Time will tell. He seems happy, though.
GanjaPlanet
You’ll have to date his brother and get back to us.
