Challenges
I am six weeks sober. I have had no cravings nor any compulsion or desire to drink in this time. I do have other challenges though. I find that I get irritated very quickly, much more so than when I drank. I am also now super sensitive and touchy, something I defnitely was not as a drinker. Lastly I am bored. The evenings seem to last forever. I go to gym every day after work but that only covers an hour. I find television a real yawn. My job entials reading all day so it is difficult to spend every evening reading.
I know I will have to find a satisfactory solution for this. Just exploring various possibilities as to what to do with all this extra time has already helped me tonight.
Sober life requires so much more than just being sober.
