Maybe stop trying to fill the void with stuff and try healing it instead?

First phase for me was no more booze, second phase was learning to accommodate a little discomfort and the fear in doing that.

Third phase is letting go of the reins a little - in many ways the hardest step of all.

Having to control everything kept me drinking.

Letting go and letting things happen was scary but ultimately very freeing.
