I always joked, that drinking was my hobby but I was dreadful at it. And that's what it was. I would go to the shops, choose my booze and fags.. and go home with a warm fuzzy feeling that my night had been planned for me - and it would be a good one! Whilst drinking, I would chat online, chat to friends, text friends.. and end up in trouble (ex boyfriends, new boyfriend, kids dad, anyone)...
Now my hobby is cooking, cleaning the house, being a responsible adult. Watching a movie, having a bath. Just the NORMAL things I should be doing that I wasnt when I was drinking.
I would do the bare minimum. Just drink.
In 4 days, the house is tidier, have gone to the shops to buy things I have been putting off.. little insignificant things that I need... but none of which I would have bought until last minute.
If drink is your hobby, find another one.
Just my opinion .
