Sober/Bored
I've been reading a lot more
Picked up a longboard and gonna try my hand at that
Got a sweet bicycle
Go to the movies
Its endless
Finding things to do required me to get into action. I got into some hobbies I did while drinking, but never really followed through. Even picked up some new ones.
Today I'm going out and firing up my chainsaw and making some big pieces of wood smaller. Might be boring to some, but not to me.
Congrats on 7 months!
The "what to do" thread link is always worth posting again

But basically, you can do whatever you want to do. The only difference is that now that you aren't drinking there are actually MORE things that you can do. When drinking , we cannot ( or at least should not ) drive - limiting pretty severely our available options. Sober you can go wherever you want, whenever you want without worry. When drinking, our capacities to do many other things are diminished too - again limiting us to what we can do and where we can do it.

I had to change my life, cos my old like was all about drinking..I had to drink to make it tolerable.
That's no life for a sober guy.
Do you have any hobbies or interests? anything you always wanted to do?

My hobbies for the past few years have been drinking. It's the only thing that I look forward and wanted to do.
Last night I cleaned up, read a book and paid some bills. Simple things that I ignored due to drinking.
I now all about being bored and that was my excuse to drink. Now I have to force myself to new thing to escape boredom and drinking.
Best of luck

Think about what you realistically want your life to be like - then go out and build it
