An interesting new chapter has begun in my life. Alongside the project we’ve been working on for over a year, I’ve also started rediscovering old hobbies. As a child and in my youth, before the wild years of alcohol, drugs, and endless partying (which used to be my whole life) I actually enjoyed doing simple things like playing sudoku and knitting!
And guess what?! 😁 I’ve picked them up again. But this time it feels different, more meaningful, because I can actually dedicate free time to them and let them grow. I haven’t played games in years (I used to have a gambling addiction too), and I’ve realized I’m very prone to addictions. It happens fast.
Recently I started playing sudoku again, and within a day I reached some kind of master level because I just couldn’t stop. Then I shifted my focus to knitting, with the goal of making a beautiful mohair sweater. While writing this, I remembered how obsessed I was with Candy Crush when it came out, reached something like level 3800 before I finally got bored. Maybe I’ll pick it up again?
Anyway, the good news is that where I once had destructive addictions that literally broke me, now I’m rehabilitated and genuinely enjoying life. How are you doing with addictions? Hopefully only the kind that uplift you, not destroy you.
