Welcome to SR redrosie! So glad you found us.
I can relate to your situation. I was strictly an at-home drinker. When I stopped drinking I needed to learn how to be in my own home without drinking.
I won't lie - it wasn't easy. I had to adjust my routine for awhile. I went to alot of AA meetings, went to the library, went window shopping. I did anything and everything I could to make sure I didn't just sit around home and dwell on drinking.
It was uncomfortable for a bit but it did pass. Give it a try.
