I'm glad for this post, and the other thread that talked about it. It shed some light for me. The excitement, drama, craziness of drinking kept my mind busy. Pre-occupied..even if it was with negative stuff.
Now i feel a bit in the doldrums. Not in a terrible bored way...but i'm getting used to having my headspace free of feeling guilty or master planning my next drink or what lie i'm going to tell.
Now what do we do with this?
Filling the mind with positive stuff. Meditation. Reading. Chatting with a friend. Yoga. Exercise. Etc.
