early on i'd do stuff like eat a large me i was never one who wanted to drink after a large meal sort of not that i woudlnt iw ould but the buzz wasnt as good so it was slightly less desireable.
I'd also go to bed early. even if that meant like stareing at the ceiling or something I needed the rest anyhow after all the years of heavy drinking and it would get me 1 more sober day sure with less waking hours lol but i'd take a sober day any way i could in the begining.
I also sipped on something all night long water or tea so that i still fulfilled that almost habit to have some drink handy to keep sipping all night long. Almost liek someone who wants to quit smoking might eat more or something. Me? i drank more and more water and tea. Again I probably needed the hydration and my body to be washed out some from all the years of heavy boozing and if it helped keep me sober heck did i care. I'd get sober time anyway i could early on.
