Welcome, juancarlos, to SR; very glad you found us.
Have you considered joining an SR Class; it's a great way to 'speak' with people who are at the same stage of their addiction and struggling with the same issues (how to fill their time, etc.). I'll post the link to the Class of February 2016 in a minute.

Welcome Juan! Quitting drinking is not losing. It's getting our lives back. Lotsa support here. We've all been right where you are at. The good news is you could be on this side of the fence tomorrow. Just jump. Life is much better w/out booze.

Welcome, Juancarlos!
I try to keep all addictions out of my life, and so for me it was not a matter of finding a replacement for alcohol. I needed to change my life around so I do not need addictions.

Welcome to SR, Juan Carlos.
The decision to get sober is the best thing any of us chose. We were where you are once.
It gets better. Just starting the process by summoning the courage to post is an amazing beginning.
