I’m struggling with finding my sober identity. What do I enjoy? I have no idea and no advice. Hang in there. (Try yoga!)

I do every thing I did when I was drinking, I just do it sober now and with sober friends. I had a hard time in my early sobriety with this but the more friends I made in AA the more things I started to do outside the program and I was able to enjoy them and remember what I did.
I recently got to enjoy a night out with my kids and a friend at a Hockey and we had a blast. And I wasn’t thinking about drinking, I was in the moment with people that I loved and got to enjoy every second of it.

All the stuff non sober people do for fun except one thing! Lol… jk kind of. I get the complexity. I still struggle with it, but I’m getting used to it and even enjoying the boringness of this new life a little 
since I started early morning yoga it’s a treat to go to bed early. Some might call that sad but it feels healthy. Lots of reading and reflecting and writing. Sometimes I don’t miss it at all when out with friends and sometimes I do, but that only lasts about 10-30 minutes and I enjoy the evening after that. I get tired and bored when I’m
Out a long time, but I’m learnjng I may need to just leave early after the fun part ends and that it’s ok. There are things I don’t want to do anymore, and things I really want to do that I never did. Slowly this life becomes a life. And… I prefer it about a million percent. For inspiration read “the unexpected joy of being sober” or Quit like a Woman (a little warning that Quit like a Woman will be better enjoyed by the more liberal minded). Part of the fun is the journey. It’s not all fun but it IS all growth.

Well see… you have one thing! Lol. Yoga is my tool too. I struggle with the identity piece but then I realize I do NOT want my identity to be a drunk, ridiculous one so I’ll have to keep defining myself. Keep journaling and searching!

Create the fun you want to have. Start a group of your own if there isn't one. Bowling, camping, rafting, sky diving, dancing, karaoke, concerts...

If you ever get too stressed and want to go somewhere lemme know. I'm all over the place for work and see some nice places.
Go back to what you used to do. Definitely get active. It does wonders for emotional sobriety and mood regulation.

You’ll be surprised how the things you used to love doing will come back to you now that you’re sober and can enjoy the fully. You’re a miracle, Angelina, and so is each day you spend sober!
