I was still detoxing pretty good on day 5 so I wasn't very motivated to do anything, especially drink. I found the more I distract myself, the less I think about it but that can be a challenge at times... good luck!

Hi, lor!

What has caused you to sabotage your sobriety in the past? Are you using any program of recovery to learn how to live sober?

might want to think of aversion therapy. Helps with moments when you might slip up - you just ned to comit to taking it every day.

Stay strong.

I take loooonnnng walks, go to the gym, listen to my favorite music. I'm re-organizing closets and kitchen cabinets. I read before bed to lull me to sleep instead of passing out from alcohol, it has been pleasant waking up without a HO. What are your interests? I don't know about you, but I put alcohol as a priority in my life for many years, I planned drunks, prepared for them, hid them, that took alot of time and energy. Put that energy into something you enjoy. So many possiblities. Keep going.

i have just come to the conclusion i dont have any interests haha my interests were basically drinking. i like having ppl over for dinner which i never ate bc i would be half bombed b4 dinner was ready lol and i suppose things like drunk dialing drunk facebooking and random converstions with the ppl in the supermarket used to be my hobbies lol. ight now though im very excited about christmas coming cause its my favorite time of yr. i guess im gonna have to learn who i am all over again. for instance last wed (my last day drinking) we finally got a babysitter for the first time in like forever and instead of knowing what to do i just went to the bar blew 300 bucks and then got into a car accident. and i keep asking myself y didnt i go to the movies or something??? what is it that possesses me to act ridiculous when im such a smart person???
