Hobbies

I am a strong believer that a strong involvement in something whether it be reading, painting, fixing cars, etc can be very useful in combatting the urge to drink. Personally, I have to stay busy. If not, I will sit in front of the TV and see a vodka or beer commercial and end up thinking about taking a walk to the store. I can't be idle. If anyone has problems with fighting the urge to drink, maybe you should look into something that you may find fun to do to occupy your time. Just and idea....

I do alot of drawing (mainly portraits), painting, and exercising my dog. I am an American Pit Bull fanatic.

Does anybody else have a hobby to keep themselves busy?

Well, there are hobbies that i do enjoy but at this time, location, pecuniary considerations and mode of conveyance reliability extremily restricts my desires to fly fish for salmon and steelhead or hike along the mountains trails of Northern CA.

So, in the meanwhile, I occupy my time with web surfing (mainly military/veteran), reading, pedaling my mountain bike around town, posting/reading here at CF and listen to my music (while perusing CF and the web).

Hobbies are a fantastic idea. It's important to maintain some comfort and familiarity in your actions, but picking up some new things to occupy your time greatly helps most people. The idea is to retrain your body and mind so that everything you see and do doesn't become a trigger for use.

I work as a contractor, so it seemed logical for me to do some work for habitat for humanity in my spare time. It keeps me busy and leaves me feeling great at the end of a day where I might have just sucked down a couple bottles of Vodka and passed out like a moron.

Good post! It's nice to talk about these things with people who understand.
