For years I had a Sunday tradition of cooking on the grill in the evening with the baseball game on the radio and a cooler of beer. I would sit, drink, and survey the domain of my backyard.
I loved my Sunday nights. Hated my Monday mornings.
When I quit drinking I quit the routine of my Sunday night, baseball game cookout.
Why? Because they triggered me to drink. No. The only reason I would sit in my bug-infested backyard with a smoking grill for hours and hours was because I was drinking. With the drinking gone, the "fun" was gone.
I've found other outdoor activities that I do enjoy sober. Productive ones.
