When I started sobering up I had a hard time. One of my triggers to drink was boredom. I always felt: oh I have 1h I deserve to relax, lets drink a bottle of wine. Especially when I felt alone. It even was oh itis sunday at 3pm Nothing to do so why nots have some wine to relax. When I stopped I had all this empty time to fill and felt so lonely. Slowly though my life filled up with thigs and I am now so busy doing stuff that I am happy if I have 5 min for myself. It just happened. I often ask myslef now how were I able to drink.
In the ealry stages I spent hours cleaning the house when I was bored, started going for walks etc. I really did not have any friends or anybody to hang out with. Now it is slowly improving
