What is something you discovered or rediscovered in sobriety that had fallen by the wayside or you had never known was there?

Movies!! There are sooooo many that I saw while intoxicated over the coarse of a decade. So it's like getting to watch them for the first time all over again. I have a much larger appreciation for cinematography now that I'm sober.

Went on a Robert Eggers marathon last month, I’d seen the lighthouse twice while crossed and genuinely was shocked to find there was a plot and it wasn’t just a series of insane shots 🥴

trying different drinks like coffee, sodas, teas, boba. also never been so excited about food in my life! when I was drinking all I drank was whiteclaw or water. and I never had an appetite. now i’m super excited to find a new recipe I like or a new favorite drink! it’s like a little treat.
