When you decided to quit drinking, did you have to rebuild your life/find hobbies etc
I really want to quit drinking before I destroy anything that I have left in my life. So, I need other things to focus on, keep me busy, keep my mind occupied (and off the booze lol).
One of the reasons that I drink so much (apart from depression, anxiety etc) is boredom because I have no life. I've lost practically all of my friends, and even though I found it easy to meet new people when I was drunk, I'd later avoid them due to feeling embarassed at being drunk and also because I'm a completely different person when I'm sober.
I know I need to develop some new interests, but I find it difficult through lack of motivation or lack of energy.
Did you find that when you first stopped, your life was empty? And, what did you do about it?
