I'm not one to offer unsolicited advice, but you did ask! Several years ago, I stopped drinking and to get through the long winters, I bought a guitar and spent all the time I used to waste drinking watching you tube videos and teaching myself how to play. It's a fun, relaxing contstructive way to spend idle hours in the winter. There are hundreds of three and four chord songs you can download off the internet and play along with on the you tube videos. And, if you can find someone else to play with, it's even more fun and rewarding. Mental health professionals will tell you the happiest people are those who have music in their lives and I can attest to that! Who knows, we might be able to put together a forum group to get together and play and have a few laughs on cold winter weekends.......
