Being sober two months now, I'm reading voraciously. Forums, novels, recovery literature...I feel like a starving man at a buffet.

I might take it up again one day.

Lol....oh I had the shaky hands. It was so bad I couldn't write legibly. I was really concerned about it but it's all but gone now.

Congrats!

I'm also getting back into my old hobby/interest of reading, which is much easier to do in sobriety than it was when I was always drinking. I find I am so much more mentally alert as well as physically productive, such as with my job, house, and exercise. In my experience focusing on my priorities and goals makes it much easier to stay sober.

Congratulations on 4 months aeo, here's to many more!

I envy you for being more productive. I have more free time, but I mostly just goof off. Re-starting to read regularly was a pleasure for me as well, though.
