Put together a terrarium today. I also play video games and knit.

Already getting more flowers. In 2 months time I have gotten 3 out of my 6 cacti to flower…and I don’t think the other 3 are flowering species, but I honestly have no clue. Determining the specific type is harder than it is with regular succulents.
Anyhow, must be doing something right. Wonder what color these will be? Easily the biggest buds I’ve had so far.

This is impressive, how long did it take to sprout??
Fishing, kayaking, and hiking with my dog. I’ve started to study German on Babbel. Kinda hard keeping up the routine.
This might’ve taken the top spot for “most physically beautiful record I own” (sounds great, too). The previous top spot was taken by the same album for over 3 years, now this one reigns supreme.

Well, another nice little surprise today. I ordered these about 2 weeks ago from a record shop I occasionally buy from in Brooklyn, and coincidentally delivered today (day 900).
These are 2020 digital remaster special editions of the five most impactful Kraftwerk records: Autobahn (1974), Radio Activity (1975), Trans-Europe Express (1977), The Man-Machine (1978), and Computer World (1981).
Total impulse buy, as I had no idea that they had been released. I actually already have original pressings of Radio Activity and Computer World, but has been intending to get the others for some time and just couldn’t resist pulling the trigger on all. The packaging is just absolutely gorgeous, they each come with extensive artwork books, and from what I have heard the remasters sound tremendous. So now I have things to listen to tomorrow on my “good” system in the living room (both of my setups are good, but the one in the living room is a better turntable, and the speakers are properly separated and on isolation stands – creating a better listening experience).
If you’re unfamiliar, Kraftwerk were an electronic music group formed in Germany in 1970. At their peak in the 70s and early 80s, and arguably the first electronic group to achieve any measure of mainstream success. Their influence on music as a whole is immeasurable – if the music you like has any electronic components or synthesizers, it likely would be very different or possibly not exist at all if it weren’t for Kraftwerk.
To do what they were doing in the 70s is really crazy to think about. Keep in mind there was no digital back then. They often had to build and/or program their instruments themselves.
I based my entire senior project in college on their work, culminating in one long-ass paper and several electronic tracks, most notably “I breathe like a robot”.
Anyhow, I’ll be geeking out over this for a bit.

I like to pretend I’m a pro photographer. All photos taken off my phone
I’m grateful I can see the beauty in things now as I never appreciated my surroundings in my addiction

Hey guys. I was just curious what types of hobbies you’ve discovered since getting sober.
I’ve found that I really enjoy rewatching tv series I watched while drinking. It’s amazing how much I missed and how much better tv is now that I’m fully aware through the whole thing.

I’ve been reading a lot more again, doing a lot more organizing of my space and filtering out what doesnt “spark joy”, making room for open space or new things. Been doing a few holiday crafts, also watching more movies and actually finishing them instead of drifting off into dreamland haha. Honestly filtering through things I have and shedding the old, donating to people who could use it for free, makes things feel light and even more ready to continue anew. I’m at 3 weeks, woo!

I got into gardening for the whole first year of my sobriety. I wasn’t great at it, but I really enjoyed working with the living earth, helping something to grow and thrive.
I’m actually thinking about getting back into an old hobby of mine, photography. I pawned my camera for drug money years ago, but I wasn’t half bad at it and more importantly, I enjoyed it.
Lol i can’t tell you how many times ive watched a “new” movie or series and had this feeling like i had seen it before. Now I know why.

I am trying to get back into working out, and I am now reading more. I definitely feel that these will help me to stay sober. And I’ve found that if I don’t drink while reading that I actually remember what I read, so that’s awesomeness!
