Welcome Mentium! I'm doing well this morning - Day 4. I haven't missed alcohol at all, not yet, since the last horrible binge. I tend to drink when I stressed and have stretched myself too thin. Here are some tools/alternatives to drinking I have come up with when I'm feeling that way:
1. Get in bed. Read Kindle. Close eyes. Nap if needed.
2. Get in comforting yoga pose such as child's pose. Close eyes and rest.
3. Pour a yummy non-alcoholic drink - even sparking grape juice which helps with low blood sugar dips in afternoon and lifts spirits.
4. Get an early dinner.
5. Get on treadmill or do yoga at home if I can't get out to the studio.
6. Fill up bath tub with hot water and bubbles. Set up candles (or not) but just get in and relax.
7. Take dog for walk. Slow down and breathe the fresh air.
These are my stress relievers that I found help me from drinking. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday!
