Good to see you again Nick - I'm glad things are looking up.

I don;t know if this applies to you or not but for a while I still had the same routine I had as a drinker - come home, watch TV go to bed. That was barely tolerable as a drinker, it was intolerable as a non drinker.

I tried to vary my routine a lot, I tried new things - I had time to do some volunteering...I tried my best to remain stuimulated and challenges.

If you're finding it difficult to motivate yourself do you think you might be depressed?

It's fairly common especially if you've been drinking for years, trying to adjust to a new way of life?

Things may well get better with time too.

4 months seems a long time I know but in many ways it's not that long...I was 3 months in before I realised I was still in the same routine I mentioned before...

One thing I do know is support helps - good to have you back
