Sorted junk out for car boot sales.
Had long baths and facials.
Went for drives with loud music.
Cooked food for the freezer.
Chucked out loads of paperwork and sorted my office.
Organised photographs on my computer.
Read newspapers on line.
Did my nails.
Went late night shopping.
Went to the cinema.
Got my garden sorted out.
Planned days out and looked for coupons that gave me money off.
Tried to do baking.
Donated to the charity shop so I had more space and less clutter.
Exercised.
Went for walks wrapped up in the cold.
Got my birthday book and address book sorted out.
Bought cards for birthdays in the future.
For me it was liberating to be able to still do things or drive or go places or speak with people after 7.30pm. I was usually too drunk after this time, housebound and hid from people so they did not know I was drunk.
At first I did have to keep busy and keep occupied, but now it is very much second nature for me not to drink on an evening or during the day on a weekend.
I wish you the best xx
