I used to brew beer and loved it. When I quit, I sold everything and started making ice cream. Loving that too! My daughter is lactose intolerant and this way I can make delicious dairy free ice creams.
That sounds like fun!! I got custody of my 10 year old niece a few months after getting sober (I knew it was coming) and she takes up a lot of free time but I’m so glad I’m present and in the moment for her.
I also intensified existing hobbies.
Hiking went from a vacation or quarterly activity to several times per week. (Less now because of fatherhood.)
I returned to music and really doubled down on reading.
I picked up a couple of new hobbies: kayaking and spin bike.
And I started a business that’s been doing well for a few years and became a dad.
None of it would have happened without sobriety.
Awesome, great on you, thanks for sharing!
Your kids will benefit from it as well. I remember from my childhood that every party involved alcohol. So I thought that you can’t have a party without.
I’m a dad as well and so happy to be sober for them.
