NightNDay

One of the terrible, persistent thoughts that keeps flying through my head is:

"How can I possibly enjoy life with alcohol? How can I have any FUN?"

I know this is ridiculous, because I haven't been having "fun" in a long, long time. I've been desperately miserable. Point is, I was trying to come up with a list of things that I could do (and enjoy) that do not require drinking. Of course, in the past I did many of these things while drinking/while drunk, so I have to separate the two in my mind. But I was wondering if anyone could help add to the list? (I'm sorry for the onslaught of posts today; having a rough one).

I'm especially looking for things that will get me out of the house, because I am very much a loner.

*Going to the movies

*Going for a walk/bike ride

*Working out at the gym

*Taking a free class

*Meeting a sober friend for coffee

*Window shopping/shopping at the mall

*Cooking something fun

*Browsing the bookstore and having a coffee at their coffee shop

*Reading a book

*Listening to my favorite music

*Playing a video game on my phone

*

*Watching a TV show I love but don't remember because I was drunk on the first viewing (I honestly need to rewatch some of my "favorite shows of all time" because I only remember bits and pieces of them)
