It took a lot of time, the first year of sobriety was just that. Getting through the ups and downs, reaching out staying out of bars, and places that i thought would “test me”. Then also just got right with my job and all else, letting good relationships mend. I just went towards things that mattered. The, what your heart truly seeks.
But that comes with reflection, time and patients.
..
As far as actual hobbies.
Those things developed over time.
And, there is a plethora of things to do or try.
This comes down to what you want to do.
My big things over the course of 4 years+
Was (and some I already knew i just got better at it.)
Fishing, fly fishing.
Gym.
Reading.
Hiking.
Ice skating/hockey.
Learning a new language.
Eventually getting right with God.
Church.
Camping
Of course getting closer with my son.
Skiing, snowboarding.
Shooting more.
Meeting sober people.
Hunting was brand new on my 4th year.
I definitely took the adventure/hunting/God route.
Other things.
Found a new job.
Carpentry.
Learn a new trade overall.
Build something.
Start a business.
Advance on money making ideas.
Are just some stuff.
Like, the list becomes kind of endless.
But, its all within what you want to do.
Things gained from sobriety.
Consistent confidence, a moment will come where you are sure of yourself, humble, but calm in what you want to do.
Then just takes time in doing that thing.
Hobby or career moves. This or that.
