60, thanks for the kind words and sorry to hear you are struggling with boredom. Unfortunately for me, the drinking episode on Wednesday strengthened my resolve. Last night I got home from work at 6PM and had nothing to do all night. The mets had played a day game, the Rangers were off, and I didn't have much homework. If I hadn't screwed up and made the dumb decision to drink on Wednesday, I might have chosen to drink last night to erase the boredom.
But you know what? The boredom wasn't that bad. I found two YouTube channels that I found interesting (vsauce and veritasium) and educational and just watched a few hours of both, then went to bed early and set my alarm ahead by an hour since I plan on working out tonight rather than this morning.
So, all in all, I'm feeling a lot better today. Obviously bummed to be back on Day 2, but also relieved in a way that I didn't let a drinking episode devolve in to a full on relapse. To be honest, I was never one to like drinking on consecutive nights, but since I wasn't hungover yesterday, it would have been common for me to drink when I got home as early as 6PM.
Happy Friday everyone!
