What a gift to read this as I prepare to enter a long uncertain period of time off that I’ve been looking forward to, but forgot will most likely begin with a massive mood dip. Thank you for writing this.
I'm a sober person too and taking drinking off the table definitely takes away some of the scripts our culture provides for 'fun'. I have more fun now, but I often think of an interview where a reporter asked Alice Cooper why he'd taken up golf, and he said something like, 'Once I quit drugs I realized that a day is actually a really long time'.
Mind blowing, Jane. Honestly. I thought I was just an idiot who couldn't appreciate time off.
Definitely not!!! So glad it was helpful. <3
