Sober Hobbies: Making the Most of Your Alcohol-Free Time
In sobriety it can be your greatest ally or your most fearsome enemy. Either way, you now have a lot more of it! How you spend that spare time, is down to you.
Imagine having a ton of free time on your hands, but no idea how to fill it. That's the reality for many people who quit drinking. In this episode of 'Sober Awkward', Vic and Hamish dive into the world of sober hobbies and share how they've navigated this new landscape. Vic, for instance, used to collect rubbers (not the kind you're thinking of), while Hamish has his quirky 'Goals Tree' with branches representing different hobbies he's tried.
Their stories are both hilarious and insightful, showing that finding new interests can be a game-changer in sobriety. From past hobbies that fell by the wayside to new passions that keep them on track, they discuss it all. They even throw in some breathwork tips and talk about how challenging yourself with new activities can boost your dopamine levels.
By the end of the episode, you'll see that free time isn't something to fear but an opportunity for growth and connection. So, grab a cuppa and get ready to feel the awkwardness and embrace it!
