Hey wvu,
Acoustic guitar is a great hobby - it's relaxing, it's creative, and it takes up a lot of time (har har). I think that's a great idea. And speaking just for myself, I don't think I could have hit up any bars at day 6, 7 or 8... or even relatively close to that. I had to duck out. I used music as an excuse/escape - and it totally worked.
I hope you're doing good and stay in touch!
