Dealing with Life WITHOUT alcohol...
I am reading Sober For Good - and I am reading the chapter where they talk about how to deal with life without drinking alcohol and dealing with things without the booze...
A lot of people in the book say that it takes them a year or so to finally begin to feel normal and enjoy life without booze...but they have been drinking for 10+ years...is it going to take that long for me to enjoy life after 2+ years? I know it's harder to quit the longer you drink...I can't help but find it a bit discouraging.
Yesterday I was SO SO SOOOOOO bored - isn't that so bizarre? Because when I drink I just can't really do anything except sit there and feel drunk so how the heck is that more exciting?!!
It's confusing.
How do you deal with life without booze?
How do you deal with boredom -- and I know that you can go out for walks and do this and that, but how long does that feeling last? The feeling of a "void"??
