Moving out on my own

So here in a week I’ll be moving into my first home, which is super exciting! But I am also very nervous with it being my first time living alone for my first time since getting sober.

I plan to find a good aa meeting in my area to attend and have plenty to keep me busy with re-modeling and making the home my own. The down times where I take breaks or need to save more money for a project I feel will be my struggling points with boredom, quietness, and temptations. I enjoy my video games, walks with my dog, and experimenting with new recipes. What’re some activities or hobbies that yall enjoy doing? I’m looking to expand my activity shelf and learn new things.

Congratulations to you,
AJ!
I like reading, writing, walking, being out in nature; am getting back into painting…which I loved doing when I was younger.

Setting up your home is, sounds exciting!
Ah,
I listen to podcasts, also.
I like Rich Roll’s podcast.
His interviews are favorites.
He is good at what he does.
He has been sober for ages. I have learned a lot from that man!

Sarim thanks! I enjoy reading when I find a good book. I’ll give painting/drawing a try! Love seeing others art work. And I don’t think I’ve ever listened to a podcast so I’ll have to look him up! Thanks for the ideas!

Cool, AJ-you are welcome!
Well, his podcasts are loooong…sometimes I break it up.
As in…20 minutes here and there?

His interviews are pretty insightful ( I feel ).
Oh.
I left out music.
I guess as you set up your place, blare music?
( If you are into…blaring music ).:tada:

AJ, the podcast can be found at richroll.com

Thanks sarim. And yes there will be music. Already grabbed my speaker from my storage to get that going. I love blaring music haha.

Congratulations on the new place. It’s the promises coming true.
Get to meetings. Get a sponsor. Work the steps. Find a home group. Get involved in service work. The rest will take care of itself.

Oh my goodness, AJ-
Y E S!!
Blaring music qualifies as uh, one of my hobbies.
Definitely!
