Sometimes it can be hard to even remember what you like doing when you first quit drinking.
#I QUIT ALL MY HOBBIES FULL#
I also feel so much more prepared as I go into the following week when I’ve had a weekend full of productivity and relaxation. Plus, it is SO rewarding when you make a HUGE list, and at the end of the weekend you get to see all of the items crossed off.

We would add fun things to the list, and we would even add things like “Make yummy coffee and drink it while watching Netflix”.
We would add house projects that we had put off when we were drinking. My husband and I got into the habit of making a list on Friday night that was JAM PACKED with everything we were going to do on Saturday and Sunday. So I started making myself SUPER BUSY during the weekend! I just didn’t quite know what to do with myself on the weekend if the weekend didn’t revolve around drinking.

Suddenly I found out that alcohol had been slowing my brain down a little making a regular old “boring” day seem exciting. Up till then, I felt like I was living an exciting and activity packed life, but it turned out that the only thing I really ever did was drink. It was such a strange feeling, and the thing that made it even harder was that I wasn’t expecting to feel bored when I quit drinking. I was suddenly thinking, “What do I even like doing?” This left me feeling a little overwhelmed and kind of confused. Before I quit drinking, my hobby was drinking. I struggled with boredom when I first quit drinking.
