Hey Missy. I’ve been there. Trading alcohol addiction for other addictions - shopping, chocolate, sugar, even over exercising. But I had read some book, one person’s opinio, that the way she got through it was to allow herself anything at all as long as she didn’t drink. So I followed that advice. Though my weight bounced around and I spent too much money, I stayed sober. Ultimately, I worked deep on my inner self and stopped searching for things outside myself to make me happy and bring me peace. We are all a work in progress.

Maybe you need those new sheets to push your old self away and embrace your new sober self
