Time
Is seem like so much more Time in a day when your not drunk. . I find this a catch 22 if you busy this is awesome . If you board and lonely that vodka demon is ringing my door bell.. I'm using the elipitcal for urges .. holding stong hour 48..
I had a lot of time on my hands in the early days. No job and no imagination, I was about as boring as you could get.I joined the action in the AA program. The resulting change of attitude opened doors for me. Pretty soon I had a great job, and so much going on there didn't seem to be enough hours in the day.

Stay strong Rocket!
Why dull your senses when everything is better sober.
This of the damage, pain and misery to your body you are avoiding by not drinking.
Keep you mind clear to enjoy the life you have!
I believe in you!

After a little while the opposite happens and the days are never longer enough to do what you want to do
Try and keep occupied in this initial period Rocket. Sitting on the couch and vegetating was ok for me as a drinker but it left something to be desired in recovery

I think this lasted 7 or 8 days.
I remember telling myself time to celebrate. So I went out and bought a half liter of vodka. Drank maybe half at home during the early evening before heading out into the night.
Two things I remember about that night. I got so drunk I missed the last train home. When I did get home I was with a woman who gave me a couple of valiums. I took the valiums of course and luckily woke up later considering how much I drank. The lady? Don't know. Never saw her again.

In retrospect I spent a lot of years living life half-baked while drinking.
In the beginning of my sobriety I didn't know what to do in my free time so I went to a lot of meetings.
However, this changed as the years rolled by and today I have a full plate. Probably too full but it's real. I'm not talking about what I'm going to do like I did when I was drinking.
I'm doing it.
