I've gone through times that I didn't have any desire to play also. One time I was laid off and had to make a house payment. It was either keep my first guitar (1973 Gibson J-45 Deluxe) and move my family onto the streets, or sell the guitar to make a house payment. I sold the guitar. I got a cheap replacement, or would play my Dad's 1931 Gibson L1, but the times would be few and far between for about 3 years. I didn't know it at the time, but my wife was saving money those 3 years until she had enough to replace the guitar that I had sold for the family, with a new Martin D-28. I've played it pretty regularly since until I found a guitar web site that has a forum where you can read about other people playing guitar, and make comments or tell your own story. Now I spend all my time doing that.
