You need a hobby when getting sober more than anything. When you get sober you are bored shitless. Seriously I didn't know what bored meant until getting clean
Out of curiosity, and if you don't mind sharing, what hobbies have you picked up, or have been exploring?
All of them.
Exactly this. Woodworking, gardening, working out, macrame, knitting, eating, making spices, building robots.
For a while I felt bad about all the stuff I learned and didn't keep up with but at a certain point I just accepted that most of the hobbies I pick up won't last long and it's been great since then.
I never really got the idea of having one hobby and letting that define you.
I'm gardening a bit and I'm not very good at it, if I need some woodworking done and feel like it's a reasonable difficulty, I'll do that myself (badly) etc etc.
I don't want to spend all my free time doing one thing, that's what I do as a job already.
Oh man I put so much time into my garden this year, planted so many vegetables, started a bunch indoors on a nice indoor greenhouse I set up with one of those rolling shelves. I was basically ready to feed my whole family from the garden...
So far I've got a whopping 3 bell peppers, 6 tomatoes and one tiny baby squash that's starting to grow.
Granted we had a very hot summer that I wasn't prepared for and even watering 3 times a day a lot of my stuff just burnt, plus the ravenous squirells that ate every seedling I put out.
But I'll do it all again next year because it was a blast.
If you’re watering three times a day you may want to think about some kind of shade or covering the soil with something to retain moisture, wood chips or straw
Hey, that's my favorite hobby! If you have the money, photography is a super fun hobby, and if you don't mind buying older second-hand stuff, you can get cameras and manual lenses for super super cheap.
I got my dslr for 400ish bucks in 2015, and I got one of the best macro lenses produced for my mount off ebay for 90 bucks. Add in a flash diffuser for 10 and a flash for 50ish, and I have a nice setup for a hobbyist.
Funny enough my wife is a wedding photographer, I shoot with her a few times a year and absolutely hate it. She can't imagine doing anything else but if it wasn't my wife you couldn't pay me enough to do it more than once a year.
The second hand gear is the way to go though, she got some Sony camera a while back that cost like 2k new for around 900 because it had a small scratch on the body and one of the metal things that hold the thing on was loose. We ordered a new metal thingy and with a couple screws it was practically new.
I get that it's not for everyone, but have you considered a different type of photography? Taking photos at a wedding sounds like my own personal hell, but going out into the woods to take pictures of cool little bugs or mushrooms and stuff like that is really fun and relaxing for me.
