A month ago I wouldn’t believe I could have so much fun without drinking. A little more than a month in, and I enjoy activities and experiences so much more! This weekend was huge, a baseball game and concert without beer. I had so much fun! Share your favorite experiences being sober out and about!

I went to a wedding a while ago, it was a dry reception. As soon as dinner service was over, most of the guests high tailed it to the hotel bar for drinks. I stayed behind and danced the night away with my wife and kids. It was a great time!

Hiking! Even backpacking.
In my drink I got overweight and weak. Those weren’t the things holding me back, just more symptoms of a bigger problem adding to my snowballing excuses.
I had been losing interest and desire in darn near everything. If it didn’t come to me I couldn’t be bothered. Ugh!
As the fog lifted, sobriety and change gave me back a desire to be in the world, exploring it with others, along with the physical fitness to keep up again. It’s back to the great outdoors with a couple buddies this weekend!

I used to adore running, and it’s coming back! I’m so pumped for upcoming races. Being able to train and get up early with a clear mind

I had a New years eve party this year. I invited my friends that are also in recovery. We played games, everybody brought some food and non-alcoholic beverages. I hadn’t laughed so hard in a long time. I’m thinking of doing it again this year. Just because we’re sober doesn’t mean we can’t ring in the new year!
