Alone Tonight
The wife has to work late tonight and I'm sitting here in the office about to go home. Ordinarily, this would be an excuse to pick up a six pack on the way home and drink tonight. I've made it one week and really haven't had a real hard test until right now.
I'm determined not to blow it tonight, but I'm having a hard time doing anything other than sit here and think of the craving. Argh -- gonna take it one hour at a time.

Never got to play any other C&C games.
I'm here to learn!

+1 on the computer games thing -- not a permanent solution to be sure, but it has gotten me through a few tough times.
If that's not your thing books are a great distraction. In rehab I earned the dubious reputation of maintaining a library's worth of reading material, as I had my parents bringing me boxes of books each week. I probably read about 45 books in those first couple months.

Make a plan for how you're going to spend the evening. Zone out in front of the TV, rent a movie, play a video game, read a book, mow the lawn, cook a nice surprise dinner for your wife, call a buddy you haven't spoken to in ages, go to a meeting, go to a movie, go to a bookstore, ride a bike... you get the idea, but a plan for the evening will help!
A oh yeah, this is not a bad idea too. Member

Thanks for the encouragement all. So far so good. I have my kiddo with me, so we went to McD's so she could play in the play area. Then went and bought some stuff to have a little daddy-daughter cooking adventure to make dessert. Of course -- thats the opposite of doing some stuff around the house to make my wife happy. Quite a mess going right now...
