What interests of your's have been restored?

When I was actively using, I no longer cared about anything. Using robbed me off all my passions, interests and hobbies. Getting clean and having those things come back is one of the best rewards of recovery in my opinion.

I would be interested in hearing about the things that are important to you that have been restored, even if you are fairly early on. Once the fog clears a bit, light starts filling you up.

Some of the big ones for me are, being reconnected to nature and outdoor activities. Listening to and going to see live music (this is a major joy for me). Personal health and fitness- I have quit smoking and dipping and have really started eating healthy, regular meals which has rekindled my love for cooking and I exercise regularly which has really transformed my recovery and I would urge anyone to start exercising!

Enough about me, what about you?
