OP, you appear to be getting your game back which is good

But I thought I would just briefly respond to the above. With a long enough gap you can sometimes get a permanent drop in potential but it should be possible to improve your game still.
What I would say is that there are a few new fun board games and a few other classics beyond chess. (I'm not going to be popular on a
chess forum)
I think stratego, go or abalone are likely to appeal to you and they can be less time consuming. I know a few more obscure gems too. But in my experience there is more than one game for everyone.
Bridge is another game that can be played against players of any standard and still be challenging and fun.
