In sobriety, our life becomes infinitely more expansive since we are not spending our time sitting on a bar stool, chasing that next high, or recovering from the night before.
If we used to go to happy hour 2 hours a day after work, that’s 10 hours a week, and over 500 hours a year that we now have to expand our lives.
What can we do with the gift of an extra 500 hours?
Additionally, many of us find we wake up an hour or two earlier during the week and several hours earlier during the weekend as we are not recovering from the night before.
If you do the math, that’s another 500-700 hours that we never had in our active addiction.
What can you do with an extra 1000-1400 hours?
If you have done nothing other than spent more time being present for the people you love, you have gifted them the same amount of hours they never had before, and so the time multiplies. If you have a partner and two children, you have gifted 4,000-5600 hours of time as each person has been gifted 1000-1400 hours more time.
If you have been sober for a while, share with the community what you have been able to do in that time.
If you are just coming into recovery, congratulations as you now have been gifted this new time. How would you like to spend it? What would you like to do?
