Finding Hobbies In Recovery
by Bobby R.
One of my biggest fears in early recovery was if I would still enjoy my hobbies staying sober. Wake boarding, fishing, hunting, and attending LSU football games were all things I enjoyed, but what would they be like sober? For many years I thought the only way I could have fun was by using alcohol and drugs. The ironic part is these two things actually kept me away from the things I truly enjoyed! Some of my best memories have been at the race track and sitting in a duck blind, totally sober. The other important piece is surrounding myself with people who support my recovery and share the same interests. Its never too late to find a healthy hobby!
