Thanks all for taking the time to respond. Great advice that I plan to act on. I was tempted to get some alcohol this morning but stayed in bed a bit longer instead and urge went away thankfully. I also kept myself busy during the late afternoon as this for some reason is the period I get strongest urges.
I'm also thinking of volunteering and getting involved in some club or other - generally getting out there and doing things. Maybe a course i dunno.
In recent times I've gotten better at urge surfing; I know I'm close to stopping for good I just need to get myself together and pull myself out of this rut and create a life without alcohol. Day 1 again..
