Yes, absolutely!

At the end of my drinking days, I had given up all activities that I did, and closed myself off from friends. I was alone and empty.

And, I did have to rebuild my life.

I started walking (long distance) after supper, which was a time that was a trigger for me. This helped me on so many levels. I rediscovered nature, I became stronger physically, I began to feel peace during these walks, and my husband came along, which gave us time to talk without distraction of cell phones, blackberries, etc.

I also got back into reading and music very quickly, and wondered how I could have let those parts of my life fade away.

Try to find something that you enjoy and plan to do that activity.
