DRK..Bin there done that..now on a recovery track...an likin it a lot...hobbys interests, as others have said..get into them, what im personally findin is this...where as using an abusing booze was concerned, it involved workin my shifts..only to live for the rewards of the alcohol buzz, every night..often surfing or ebaying or whatever cyber world, i could indulge myself in for many many hours...since stopping im gettin things in perspective..and not living for highlights anymore like the first buzz, ive been lookin forward to all day,..now becomes a coffee, and dessert or something, much more on a level playin feild,with life and all that comes my way...mentally far less emotional stress, free...without the addict mind..and turmoil that goes with...i guess like many here say,
livin life on lifes terms, if your gonna reward yourself..be it healthy ones, that help and not hinder your true natural happiness, as it were...seek an you shall find..good luck..
