Really need this thread now
So thank you for posting.
The single biggest new hobby is swimming. It’s something I always wanted to do. I’ve always been an exerciser but I was a terrible swimmer. Flash forward seven months later and I’m doing laps like it’s no ones business.
It was a chicken egg thing. I didn’t stop drinking completely, but there’s no way I could have kept drinking and swam, either. You could call it a precursor to what is thus far just over three weeks without a drop, no exceptions.
As for other hobbies, it’s hard to know where to land. Alcohol takes so much time it feels like the possibilities are endless.
It makes me realize I drink to avoid how amazing life is....but that’s perhaps for another topic.
