Mostly I work everyday, and I saved some serious coin in the last 22 months. For fun I play golf, fish off shore, and I got really good at madden 21.
Social networking, get numbers. Make uncomfortable phone calls to people in the program. It helps, and make a couple meetings a day I’d possible☝🏼
So from a woman’s perspective I read, do yoga, go out with friends in recovery, travel, fish, kayak, work out, pray, make new friends and working on relationships I destroyed during relapses.

I think about what I loved doing when I was 12, and do those things. Or things I dreamed of doing back then. I have restored a bicycle. I fixed up an old truck. I built and then planted a garden. I play cards and clue with my kids. I make plans and then keep them with friends. I bbq. I read about sobriety but also for pleasure.

Music shows with seats (when we can)! Movies. Eating good food. Good luck Daniel and I hope your pain improves.
Ever thought about volunteering you time/skills in your area ?
Yup. I have roughly 5k logged hours. I want to pursue more. Covid is making that tricky so ive been intermittently feeding the homeless home cooked food.
