Ever wondered what a day in the life of someone in recovery looks like? In this episode of Luke Hand Diary, Luke takes you through his Saturday with a candid and charming recount of his activities and emotions. Starting with an early morning, he receives a compliment from a stranger about his jumper, which sets a positive tone for the day.
After enjoying a coffee and banana at the Shrine of Remembrance, he hopes to catch a glimpse of hot air balloons but is out of luck. Not to be deterred, Luke spends time setting up canvases and paints in his hotel room, with a goal to complete some artwork over the weekend. His day includes browsing through op shops in South Melbourne and getting engrossed in a book he bought the previous day.
A particularly gripping part of the book leaves him gasping out loud, showcasing his emotional engagement with his reading material. As the sun sets, Luke enjoys a peaceful wander around Albert Park, feeling so comfortable that he decides to extend his stay by another night. Instead of hitting the nightclubs, he opts for a cozy evening in his hotel room with snacks and an early night.
With a mood rating of 7.5 and energy at 6.5, Luke’s day is filled with contentment and gratitude, particularly for the amazing ending to 'Lie with Me' by Philippe Besson. If you’re curious about how small moments can bring joy and fulfilment in sobriety, this episode is a heartwarming listen.
