I went and 'recovered' stuff i had done in the past- skiing, whitewater, rock climbing etc. later i became a rabid bass/pike fisherman... threw a little camper on the truck, bought an old boat and spent 5 weeks in Northern Ontario. Learned to meditate. Played music again. Read challenging tomes. Worked the steps.[yeah- 16 years clean n sober- loads of NA, AA thats , as they say, just the way i roll - LOL!] added 3500 sq ft of shop and and a "glass room" to my home, wrote a novel...
Now i raise a few chickens and am building my 3rd boat- a 31' catamaran. Learning to gas weld. Still call my sponsor. installed total solar power and heat at my place, Took a sponsee camping and fishing the last 2 days, Got one hell of a lot more time n money n ambition than i ever had before recovery...
