My psychologist wanted me to find a hobby. I just stared at her blankly! My previous hobby being drinking and smoking! I thought really hard about the things I like to do, and one of them is cooking. When I'm drunk, I can't cook. So I've found cooking a really delicious meal really therapeutic. I trawl the internet foodie sites, print out recipes and add them to a scrap book. Going out finding the ingredients is also fun.

Yes, I have slowly got into cooking. I am kind of picky but am trying to broaden my horizons.

Well the question is, what do you like to do? Or is there something you've always wanted to try?

Sometimes, an organized event or class can help keep you motivated too. I have a group of people I ride horses with at a stable once a week. It's a weekly class and costs less than I used to spend each week drinking. Anyway, sometimes doing an activity with a group can inspire you.

Even if your picky, choose things that you really like. What kind of picky are you?

In the beginning I made it a point to do things that I would always turn down when drinking. Bike rides,jogging in the morning, spin class at the gym, taking my dogs to the dog park, and just anything that got me out of the house. Cooking is always fun, but I really needed to get out of my house. I found a local night time cooking class downtown that is wicked fun and good to do with a friend or significant other.

Hopefully I will be able to get back into things I love to do/start to do things I never tried before. Lately my moods are affecting me so bad that I don't wanna do anything.. :(

And SamKG, I am not crazy about a lot of vegetables, or seafood.
