What do you guys think? :wtf2
The moment you find drinking an integral part of your routine, you've got a problem. I think it's great that you've taken the challenge to stop for 30 days but during this time please work on your routine. It must be re-worked.
Take a nice drive after dinner.
Take a nice walk around the neighborhood.
Go to an Ice Cream parlor (at night).
Catch up on all that you've robbed yourself of while drinking.
Go to a movie.
Go for a massage.
Take your wife to dinner.
Search for, and visit your local attractions.
Go to the park.
Find a Hot Tub in your area.
Go to a driving range (this is more fun if you don't play golf)
Find anything to do at night.
Make a goody list to pick from each night.
Night time should now be your time for enjoyment.
If you change your routine to one that is truly living, chances are, you'll never desire alcohol again. Alcohol keeps you from living, in fact, it cuts living short. Alcohol is an accumulative poison. It is a trap. It's taking the easy way to an artificial sense of wellbeing. There is nothing good that can come from alcohol, especially when it becomes routine.
