I definitely find crocheting easier than knitting but it could just be a preference. I know many people who think the opposite and are more comfortable with knitting needles. Anywho, I do recommend it!

I need to look for new hobbies also… Used to like sailing, kickboxing & crossfit (but have way too many injuries from work now)… I tried sewing when I was laid up with one of my knee surgeries, I’m not a fan. I made some reusable “paper towels & napkins” (cloth 
). Have to finish the other sets i got fabric for. Maybe I’d make more progress now I’m not drinking or recovering from a surgery 
Thank you for some cool ideas

Painting is a new one that really helped me keep myself occupied and helped fill the void of time i spent drinking or hanging out with friends who drink.
Since then I have bought a really nice camera with money I saved on booze.
Its an old hobbly,but alcohol put it out of reach because it was more important to be loaded. Thats been really good for me. I run to my camera instead of booze when Im stressed, angry, or have anxiety.
I’ve been filming fishing trips and making videos. Thats something I always talked about doing as a drunk.
All talk, no action.
Im getting really close to officially launching my youtube channel. Ive been collecting more equipment, and experimenting filming. Ive got some amazing footage.
Last crab season I bought the camera. This crab season I’m buying scuba gear, spear guns. Diving is something I talked about too. Gonna make it happen next year!
Surfing too!

walking, running, basketball, soccer, reading, journaling, home improvements, getting organized, working on relationships and connecting with yourself, people and fur babies. When I first stopped drinking I had so much energy I discovered a lot of new activities but I was also keen on organising my life to dim my anxiety.

I make youtube videos about metal detecting, magnet fishing, and river clean ups. My channel is called “the wandering fools” check it out in your down time. Ive also written a few full length novels. Ones published now on amazon and the next one should be out soon. The title is “Three Drunks and Zombies” great story but might be a trigger for some. I plan on working on a new project as soon as i get my next 1 finished. Writing helps clear the mind for me. Maybe I’ll get back to writing and replace my nasty habit.
I like to draw, watch horror movies and make/listen to music
