I can related to that experience. For a significant part of my professional life, my day job was there to provide a paycheck to feed my addiction/passion to the martial arts. At 5 o clock I was out the door and for the next 3 hours it would be martial arts training and conditioning. I would train and compete and travel for competition. Work was just work and a paycheck so I could do what I really wanted. Although I did enjoy software development, it was strictly only at work.
At the time I would look at people who only had their career and career related activities and friends to be missing out on more interesting pursuits.
