Most binge-worthy activity since getting sober?
If it's movies/tv, you must tell me what I've been missing out on.

Reading books. I actually have had to limit myself sometimes. I’ve read through more books in the last 2 years than any other time in my adult life. When I was drinking, I’d totally forgotten and abandoned my love for reading (what with the words always being too blurry). Now I’ve gone on more book-adventures than I can count!

I’m obsessed with the gym again. I’d been so stupid and buzzed - or crappy and hungover, that I’d forgotten the high of running or training.

I concur with Kate. I've been going back and reading "classics.". Enjoyable and good for your noodle. Reading "Brave New World" at the moment and best show I've watched this year was Blackbird. Just watched White Lotus and Yellowstone, 1882,1923 (prequels) - all good.
Good luck with the sobriety down time

Crazy to add to the classic lit but I took down Tolstoys Anna Karenina (800 pages) over the winter. Blew my mind. I never "had time" when I was drinking to read it. Also didn't have the mental clarity and discipline. Love Russian lit, American, European.

I have read many autobiography about stars that were in addition and how they recovered. Lots of documentaries and utube to remind myself not worth going back to the h@ll I was in. Plus trying to help others is a big plus.

The following I do not uh, “ binge “ on.
While I began fostering animals ( cats, specifically ).
I recently said goodbye to my third foster.
He is now in his forever home.
I could have never done this while drinking.
I was too self-absorbed.
A total pr-ck.
Life is a trillion times better not being sh-t faced 24-7.
Wishing you and everyone here, the absolute best which this sober lifestyle has to offer!

I've definitely bought more books over the last couple of years sober but haven't read them haha. BUT even with all my excessive binging I've been far more productive in the XX (omitted for being too many) years of drinking!

I decided to correct my mistake from decades ago and pursue a degree.
Got it in February and kept going. Now halfway to a MS psychology. I guess you could say I've been binging school😄

Love that. I've actually been applying for Fall/Spring MS in clinical mental health!
Back to taking classes as well to correct my low GPA mistakes!
