While you're writing, make yourself a list of dreams and interests you
can fill the huge amount of "free time" you will have now since you've quit.
You will be amazed at how much time you have to do things you've always wanted,
like maybe playing guitar, making jewelry, painting, hiking, etc.
What do you want to do that you've never had "time" or energy for?
Yes the blackouts were scary. Wednesday night I have no idea how I drove home. Really not on.
As for what I would like to do with the time that will open up due to my sobriety - always wanted to write a novel, plus I enjoy things like swimming, singing, traveling, general working out and teaching English to kids on a voluntary basis. All hobbies which have been affected by my desire for booze. Alcohol always comes first with me.
