I went to an outpatient clinic. The boredom is bad. Every Saturday was movie night for the last few years. The neighbors all get loud and I have a hard time tuning it out without alcohol and headphones. Music has been a bad trigger and I have avoided it completely. What a change in lifestyle. I made a list on my phone I can pick up at any time of the horrible things I've said/done in the past month due to alcohol. Plus, situations I have been forced into by other "friends". It really changes the boredom perspective when I read it.
Side note: The one reason I didn't go to my local ER this time is because I once went up there and the ER doc told me there was nothing he could do for me and to just go home and "have a beer" to feel better. I don't want to discourage anyone from going but this Dr is no longer there.
