Title: How To Have Fun in Recovery, by Lisa M. Hann
I have to admit I was skeptical about the author’s topic before I began reading. I know from speaking to people in early recovery that the questions of boredom and fun come up more often than not, and I’ve always taken the stance that those things will work themselves out after the person has established a solid base of recovery. Lisa has not only put together a strong message of hope and encouragement for those just beginning to live sober, she has convinced me to change the way address those questions in the future.
This is a short piece, easily read in one sitting. I recommend it for anyone out there who are wondering, “What am I going to do for fun now that I don’t drink?”
Title: 365 Ways to Have Fun Sober, by Lisa M. Hann
It’s companion book is a day-to-day compendium of a year’s worth of suggested things to do for fun without drinking. Some as mundane as “Sing in the shower,” some as involved as take a day trip to a city you’ve never visited. I have to say I had intended to read 10% the entries for this review, but became so engrossed at the variety and scope of the list that I ended up reading cover to cover. No one is going to find every suggestion helpful, of course, but anyone, in recovery or not, will find a lot of things to do that they would never have thought of. Highly recommended.

I’ve never read a book on how to have fun in recovery, but I certainly find the topic interesting. I’ll definitely have to check this one out. Sounds like a good read.

This book was compassionate without being condescending- the ‘friend’ a recovering addict could use.
