Hello all,

I am starting my 3rd and hopefully last attemt to quit. Once in 2008 and then last November. I can identify some factors that made me relapse. The main one is listening to the voice telling me that I could control one or two drinks. One month I handled it and as posted before the relapses are more severe. Another factor is my way of life and company. Even though I am the one who drinks the most my friends go out drinking from Wednesday to Saturday.

I have been lucky several times not to end up in jail or in the hospital. I have flash backs of the few last weekends commiting severe misdemeanors. I think its a call for action...never in the past I have lost control like this and it will get worse!

Back to the point...I want to learn other ways to have fun. PLease recommend hobbies and activities to keep us away from the drinking. Its hard because I feel as if I've lost the ability to enjoy everything as I used to. I numbed my senses and happyness with alcohol.

Thanks!
