Hi again Katie,
In the beginning, I used to "LAY DOWN" haha. I did.... and it worked.
Swim, Yoga, (you have a pool, I think you mentioned?), went to a bookstore, got the paper and went to a Starbucks to read it and have tea. Read cookbooks and tried recipes I hadn't tried (changed focus and felt accomplishment) At one point in time, I decided I was going to make pastry doe for pies and prefect it, I'm still working on that one, but they're edible now. I would call a friend who wasn't in AA so I could distract myself from the subject of alcohol. I would walk, walk and keep walking (Love to walk)
