I second the suggestion to take a break. Give yourself full permission to do only what you want to do most for a period of time—a week, two weeks, a month, two months, six months—and enjoy it. If all you want to do for that break is sleep, play computer games, and watch TV, indulge yourself. Really. If you give yourself a long enough break, you may find that you're naturally attracted to programming before your break is over. And if not, you may discover something you want to do even more.
