I'd like to join a fitness class, I'd like to start meditating at a temple that also hosts Refuge Recovery meetings, and there's a knitting store in my neighborhood that has knitting circles that I'd like to hang around at. I just have to find the motivation to force myself out there! Easier said than done at the moment.
We do need to get out of our comfort zone to realize how great our sober life can be.
