Thank Y’all so very much. This is my who knows what time at getting sober. I had over a year under my belt when Covid hit. And I thought I could just have a few here or there. Nope. Slid right back and have attempted at least five times since going only two and half months bf failing again. When I got sober the first time I became a certified yoga instructor and put my energy towards that. Looking for some new ideas so thank y’all so very much. Good luck everyone. Stay strong we got this.

I had to step away from my passion for music early on. But being of service to my local AA club kept me busy. Now I have more hobbies than time. In particular restoring and collecting vintage automobiles. Attending related show and conventions. Gardening is another along with exercise and reading great books.

That’s been a tuff one for me! I’m stuck at home alone Mon-Fri 6am-3pm so all I do is cook, clean, laundry etc . Lol…guess I have been spending more time on the internet reading. FB, Instagram, Twitter etc. and walking/playing with my dog. My dog has really been my savior these last 4 months!!

Love puzzles! It’s so nice having a clear mind to exercise.
Also, enjoying life, whether this be planting a plant, putting up a bird feeder to watch, volunteering, etc.
