I found that structuring my time helped a lot (i.e. "I will spend this much time on this activity, then this much time on this activity" etc.) Also, logging onto this site daily helped. Staying away from bars, reading about the benefits of sobriety, requesting support from one or two close friends, getting plenty of rest (I was also super tired in the beginning), re-learning how to eat properly. Not drinking or obsessing about drinking frees up a lot of time to do other things
