What do you do for fun or to pass time after you quit drinking and drugs?

Question

I was never a serious daily addict but I did have my fun with it. I stopped but now it's like on the weekdays it seems boring not shooting pool and having a drink...ok a couple of drinks. My weekends are the usual club/lounge and drink. Any ideas what I can do that can be fun. Tell me what maybe some of you do, especially recovering alcoholics, that helps your days go by.

(Do not type up sex. That's not the problem here.)

Thanks!

Answer 1

I've been sober now for 20 months. When i first stop drinking and using, i was a mess. "Idle mind is the Devil's play ground" and I started going to the movies alot. Started working out, going to the driving range and hit golf balls. It might not be for,you but I had to go to alot of 12 step meetings and hear that I wasn't alone and got involved with sober people.

Answer 2

I've been sober now for 76 days (I'm on day 77). It's really hard to adjust to a normal lifestyle I know. I spend a lot more time with my girlfriend and I've always been into movies so I do that too. I still hang out with friends that don't get trashed.

Here's some ideas: 1. Go on a road trip to a nearby city and do a bunch of touristy ****. 2. on weeknights sit back and watch a movie or have some friends over and just shoot the **** and watch tv. 3. Go to coffee shops with friends. 4. spend a day at a theme park or a museum.

I dunno, it depends on what you like to do, but there are a bunch of things you can do. Just don't hang out with your buddies that get trashed, only hang out with the non-drinking friends -- they'll have stuff to do too.
