I can so relate to your post BU. I’ve used gambling/gaming as a pastime for so long now that I find it hard to fill my time doing anything else. I haven’t had to think about what to do with my time for years because I’ve always had gambling associated activities to pass the time of day. Trying to be imaginative and creative is extremely hard when you give it all up.
A friend suggested this website to me, meetup.com, here’s the link. http://www.meetup.com/
I haven’t fully explored it yet, but it looks interesting and a good way to meet people and get new ideas. All you have to do is register, enter your town and search activities and groups within a radius of where you are.
Keep strong, you’ll get to where you want to be.
