The stopping is easy...just don't pick up the first one.
Dealing with the things that come after...what to do with my time, feelings, emotions, behaviors....All can be things that have us want to pick up that first one.
Look about and read the posts that say stickies beside them at the top of the boards. May want to check where some meetings are held in your area. AA is a great source of support and info as well.
Why do it alone when the support of others makes it easier.
Congratulations on your choices. Your not alone in this and it can be done.
As for filling your time... Give some hobbies a try or maybe start a project at home. Just the other day, I helped my nephew with his car. I took what I know and passed on some skills to a younger person. My time was filled and he learned, as well as had his car looking better.
