... find yourself a hobby
this advice is given most of the times when it comes to recovery..
sensible, undoubtedly, BUT .... I'm struggling with this idea as such.
It's like forcing myself into doing something I don't get pleasure of. How can that help sobriety? If there was anything of such kind I would have been doing it already anyway. But that's precisely the point: drinking became my hobby because all the other, ordinary, normal stuff was not enjoyable.
For instance, first thing that pops up as an idea is exercising (in whatever shape or form)and it is daunting for me. I can kick myself out of the house and got to the gym but never, like never enjoy it, 15, 30, 60 minutes into it.... I only look around and ask myself "are all these ppl on the treadmill trying to run away from death?? how sweet.... ") So why forcing myself when the idea is to enjoy..... I mean the idea of a hobby is to have nice time, isn't it?
Am I the only one struggling with "hobby"?..... How does it work "FINDING a hobby"?

Write down anything and everything you've been interested in trying or doing. Then organize them into a priority list of trying. Give them all two to four weeks of honest attempt. Something will catch on or some other shiny object will attract you and voilą you have a hobby.

Dunno man, I don't think it's something you can force. Did you have any interests before? I found that drinking drowned out most of my 'hobby' interests. I use to read magazines, play piano, wood work, small home improvements, golf ect. Still early into my recovery and I really can't find the drive to pick anything up either. In fact I use to go to the gym 4 or 5 times a week but lately I've lost interest in that too. Right now, my hobby is sleeping.
Are you trying to find something to do just to curb the cravings?

I tried the gym thing, signing up for
at least three months with the intent
to follow thru, get all pumped and
excited about working out, to only
go 1 good month and never go back.
Sooooo many promises, resolutions
during my drinking career to never
keep them. Same thing with drinking.
Promises to stop and stay stop even
after consequences, to fail so many
times that I just couldn't, wouldn't
trust myself to follow thru.
Sooooo, since I enjoy weights, I decided
to buy myself a bench and free weights
way back in the day and still have them
today along with other weight equipment
to use at my own speed and keep me from
wasting my money on memberships that
I couldn't wouldn't commit to.
With recovery, I entered the doors thru
a family intervention when I didn't nor
wanted to commit to remaining sober
or putting the plug in the jug. That was
some 26 yrs ago as I began my journey
taking baby steps to being able to walk
with a personal confidence and responsibility.
To get myself into small service work in
helping the newcomer just as I once was
to help me get out of my own selfish,
selfseeking motives, thoughts and
remember that the world doesn't revolve
around just me.
I am just one amongst many seeking
for the same purpose in life using similar
solutions to help me achieve health,
happiness, honest each day I remain
sober.
I started baking and bringing food to
my many meetings to go along with
coffee for members to enjoy. That
little bit of service work allowed
me time to stop and speak to others
instead of flying back to my car and
home.
Slowly I became part of the fellowship
in recovery. Before I knew it, I learned
what others enjoyed doing with their
sober time. Some enjoyed golf and thus,
I began watching it on tv and learning
the lingo and players so when I caught
up with these folks, I could join in with
the conversation.
As a mom and wife, my world revolved
around them and living my recovery life.
So much of my time was at home baking,
meetings for an hour a day, home, golf
watching, then added gardening in the
later part of my sobriety which has been
my joy, exercise, serenity, peace, and
total free commitment.
In time you will find some extra activities
to enjoy either alone or with others that
will fill you with joy, contentment and passion.
Doing the footwork pays off.

For me, my drinking had pushed everything to the side and caused changes in my brain. Nothing seemed to excited me and I had no idea who I was and what my hobbies should be. I knew people raved about exercise, so I gave that a try. I tried running on the 'dreadmill' but just couldn't stand the thought of spending 30 minutes watching CNN or looking at a mirror. Instead, I started putting an emphasis on exercising outside, and walking instead of running.
For other hobbies, it was really just a process of experimentation. I signed up for different Continuing Education courses and kept at it until something struck a nerve with me.
One last note, I think many people look for hobbies, when they really want to look for opportunities to socialize. I find that if I don't take the time to bond with people, no amount of hobbies is going to give me the satisfaction I am looking for.

How long sober?
I"m not sure a hobby helps sobriety. I don't think it is promoted as a recovery tool. I think a hobby is useful in distracting oneself from the misery many have because they miss drinking. Well, rather than sit around and bemoan having to be sober, finding something you like to do is suggested.
If that doesn't float your boat, volunteer somewhere. You may not enjoy it any more than your hobby, but you are doing good for someone. And their appreciation and gratitude may rub on of you. AND THAT HELPS SOBRIETY.

i don't think drinking is a hobby. you say it became your hobby, so there was something you did before that( which it probably didn't become your hobby- you became an alcoholic).
heres a list of a crapton of hobbies from Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hobbies
just reading through it myself i can say,"yup, did that and liked it. did that didn't like it...."
i TRIED them to find out.
personally even though it can be considered a hobby, i don't consider exercise a hobby, unless that exercise involves walking through the woods, riding through the trails....outdoor activities.

A hobby is just anything fun you do in your spare time. It could be literally anything. There's just SO many things to choose from.
A few years ago in one of my sober spells, I went out and bought binoculars for bird spotting. I like birds. I always get happy when I see a bright red cardinal or a blue jay. This past year, even though I was in a work situation that brought a lot of stress, I had the pleasure of sitting outside and watching plenty of birds all year long.
I feel like the point in hobbies is just finding one of those *little tiny* things that makes you happy (seeing a bird fly by) and making it something you spend a lot more time on (going places to sit and look for birds and look them up and record them in a guide) That time becomes very sacred and calming. It sure isn't a drinking trigger.

As a consciencous avoider of exercise I can totally relate. I don't mind a walk with some purpose like exploring a new town, I used to like a bit of hunting, but that gymn/running routine...weeeell I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.
You mentioned something about finding something that gives you pleasure. It's a bit of a delusion, pleasure seeking for its own sake. We chase things all the time that we think will bring us pleasure, but it is often short lived.
Hobbies in balance are fine, but in my case I could get so involved in something that it really became an avoidance strategy, out in the man cave every night sort of thing. So that is another aspect to consider.
Then there was this saying "service is its own reward" It is based on the idea that it is rewardinmg to bring pleasure/be of service to others. It is a big part of the AA magic that my sponsor arranged for me to experience very early on. I'll never forget it. I was asked to take a newcomer to a meeting and take them home again.
It was the first time ever that I had done something freely for someone else without expecting some kind of reward. I felt for the first time what it was like to do something really worthwhile. Up to that point I had been a complete failure, couldn't do anything right. Now I began to feel the magic, and ever since that experience I have found it pleasurable to get involved in helping others.

I believe a lot of it has to do with our want/need for instant gratification as addicts. We want something that will instantly make us feel "good". Problem is, life doesn't usually work that way. So I think that it's true that finding new hobbies in sobriety is a good idea, but not because they are going to somehow replace the initial "warm/fuzzy" feeling we got getting drunk. But they can help us learn to live our life and enjoy things for what they are...by learning to interact with people, places and things around us. Hobbies that involve physical activity of course can improve our health too. And hobbies that are challenging mentally help us learn to problem solve, research and open our eyes to new ideas.

Hi Des
I know what you mean about hobbies. And interests. Talents. Friends. Don't have a whole lot of any of those things. Drinking was my hobby, friend, certainly a talent (for a while) and my main interest (if I'm honest). That, of course, is unhealthy and not quite normal. Soooo it requires commitment to find pleasure in other things.
To me exercise is a discipline and isn't always 'fun', yay. Especially the gym. But I do it because its good for me. Yoga is fun and good for me so score. There are sports and classes that can be more interesting than just sloggin away on the treadmill...which I'm about to do in an hour or so. But I put my headphones on and watch netflix or listen to music (maybe a book? I don't do that but maybe?). However walking in a nice park is great. Hiking. Bike riding. Ok, yeah, weather sucks now but you know what I'm saying.
Hobbies. I don't have any. So at night I crochet or knit (taught myself), color, watch netflix, read here, read books.
Interests. Right now, recovery. AA meetings, reading here.
Friends. My daughter. I'm working on this one. Not very good at the friend thing.
None of this stuff keeps me sober. That is my program.
Patience. You'll get there. Maybe adjust your expectations.

Perhaps we think we must have "passions", meaning things that consume us, or we don't really love to do the things we're doing, which makes them not worth our time.. I am trying to create a life now that has many, many facets and they all bring me equal joy at appropriate moments

I dunno sometimes we put so much emphasis on the idea that we should always be actively doing something. always have some hobby a job a place to go something to do with friends etc.. whats wrong with doing nothing ? LIke seriously is it so bad to enjoy sitting around doing nothing and zoning out for a while? Why does every ounce of free time need to be filled with soemthing to do?
As far as excercise goes I dunno i like to run. i can happily run on a dreadmill forever or on a trail. I just zone out if i'm on a dreadmill or watch a tv show. it took a bit to trick my mind into finding this enjoyable hahaha. and I wont lie a lot of times while runnig its not always that great but its after i run that it feels great. Its hard for me to liken excercise as a hobby. To me if excercise is a hobby then so is taking a shower or using the toilet. To me its just something I do.
No one says you have to stick with hobbys you dis like either just try anything if you want dont like it? who cares move on to the next thing.

Hobbies don't have to be so daunting. I took up photography - I like nature, art, and exploring. I just toted my camera along. Soon I purchased some better equipment, started experimenting with video timelapses. Sometimes I share with others, but mostly it's just for myself.
A hobby is your "bread and butter" when there's nothing else going on and you've got the itch to do something. You've just got to get out there and try. It's not going to be super fun at first. Something like bike riding - first you just get a bike and find some good paths. Then you might upgrade your bike the next year. A year later you'll start bringing your bike with you on trips, maybe even competing in social clubs. Some people like to take walks around the lake, and then they start noticing certain bird species. This hobby of walking turns into a hobby of birdwatching.
Hobbies aren't made in a day. They start as small seeds, and grow over time. Your sobriety and well-being also takes time to grow and mature. Be patient. Start with just doing something you like, keep it simple.

I took up waterskiing when I got sober.
I became enamored with barefoot waterskiing for ~10 years.
I have always been a runner, so I kept that up (more on than off).
I bicycled quite a bit before I gave my bikes to a friend.
I read a lot (but never enough).
But all of these are just things to do that have been made possible by my recovery.
I think that Sharon has the best approach, namely, by trying to do things for others through the AA program and otherwise.
Those efforts make me happier than my hobbies.
Let us know what hobbies you choose to pursue.
It's hard for us to have hobbies which don't become obsessions, though, so I have to always remind myself that the pursuit of my hobbies is not my primary purpose in life.

I relate to this and I don't even drink. I am going through some struggles right now, and my family tell me similar, have a hobby.
While I don't necessarily think they care what my hobby is, what the root of the problem really is, is staying busy. You have to keep yourself otherwise occupied. You may not love it, but it has to be done.
We are getting a puppy. It's going to be a lot of work, and it won't necessarily be easy. However, it will keep us busy. We will take it to obedience school starting in January (to train us more likely lol.) Again, work, but hopefully fun work.
I heard paint classes are fun, I am going to try to do one of those. I don't like to work out either, but I do know it's good for me, and produces endorphins that are good for my mental health, so I go walk at least.
I hope you catch my drift here. Try new things that even hold a little of your interest. Stay busy. Focus on something else, even if it's just to stay busy.
Good luck to you. More than anything just know you are not alone.

Thank you all for all your great replies!
As STDragon's said sleep is my main hobby now apparently too...
And yes I agree that probably I was sort of despairing that whatever I do does not bring that "warm/fuzzy" feeling that I apparently am craving....oh well.
The idea of going through wikipedia hobby list sounds super appealing! I might just try it (knitting, drawing, cooking, cycling, yoga can be crossed out already), well, within reasons (I'm still a single mum of two and we've got a dog.... turns out that it's not really walking the dog that physically exercises more but cleaning him afterwards, especially in this weather! lol)
I thought to try classes as I agree that it's more about socialising quite often. But when I get there I become super reserved, for a variety of reasons, so I end up just doing what I came for and naturally quickly loose interest at all (why bother...)

I am going through the same thing right now. My hobby was my addictions and I gave up everything for my addictions. I enjoy playing video games but it is not beneficial for me to sit here for hours on my computer. I think it is another addiction that I need to deal with. I like to lift weights but my problem with that is that I get obsessed with it. I guess we need to find new friends and try new things to find out if we enjoy something different. I need to learn to discipline myself and use my time wisely as well.

i was pretty restless to say the least when i sobered up. I probabnly had some neurological BS going on PAWS wtf knows what else going on from all the years of drinking so it wasnt just simple I'm bored and restless.
But I also from from hobby to hobby supplemnet to supplment trying to "FIX" what was apparently wrong with me. Or trying to get my "FIX". Its almost like basicly i was just simply stir crazy without my drink.
In time i found some stuff i liked to do and my desire to get that fix started to ease too.
so i guess there is that side of it. Hard to find satisfaction in things when underneath it all you just want your "FIX" thats a problem i was having.
