There’s a lot of things that are fun in general but I mean stuff you guys personally like as individuals. Family makes time scarce but trying to find stuff other than work. Don’t want to go to bars, still want to enjoy life via other means.
I made an extraordinary group of friends through AA, we go on all sorts of adventures.
Haven’t found much, to be honest. I was working out really hard but I broke my clavicle a couple months ago. Now I’m just riding my bike a lot. Worried about winter.
You might try looking for sober activity groups in your area. I use Phoenix. Think Meet Up but everyone is sober. And all events are free so you don't have to worry about the cost.
They have locations all over the U.S. do you mean New York city or state?
Weschester didnt pop up, but it shows they have events in New castle, Rochelle, Bedford and other nearby towns.
Heres a link to the app. Itll show you events, locations, and they started offering SAMSA help lines recently. I highly recommend it.
Start making friends in group- so many of us in recovery are just looking for people to do life with- we just don’t know how. Talk, ask, invite- I do a lot of hikes, day trails, workouts, farmers markets with friends I made in group. Doesn’t always pan out, but totally awesome when it does!
I’m in LifeRing where things are virtual. Will do some looking into more local options.
Play games and sports, practice yoga and meditation, explore a new coffee shop, go hiking, you got this, find what you love!
I found the better I started feeling the more fun even the simplest things started to be.
I revisited things I was interested in before I started drinking.
In the Tampa Bay region, I’ll go fishing or canoeing. Exercise is good. Cooking is another. Grilling/bbq is another. You can go pretty deep in any of those
