Yes, it took a while to find pleasure in life. I'll be honest. It didn't come easily. It took trying things ... new things and old. Reading was hard because I couldn't focus and concentrate well early on.

Don't lose heart though ... it comes back in time. One thing I did was read poetry and short articles instead of books. Then I tackled short books, until eventually I worked through a larger one.

Also, try some things you've always meant to try ... I started running. I found a sustainable pace and distance and it has become a habit.

Three years sober now and I never get bored.

There's not enough time in the day!
