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?
FoxyGrandpa@lemmy.world 3 months ago
A lot actually. Boxing, motorcycling (riding and fixing) , mycology, oil painting, and lots and lots of books. But turns out that was more symptomatic of bipolar 2 lol

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.

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.
