Anna hit it...'making changes'...often hard to do but if you try to add positive structure and activities to your 'routine' or life, it comes easier with time. One thing that was somewhat difficult for me was I found I had a lot of 'down time' when I removed drinking from my routine. At first I was very active--doing a lot of outside chores, bike riding, working out ect...I had all this extra energy all of the sudden. And I must say it is awesome to wake up on a weekend morning and get right to doing something rather than nursing a hangover!!
