On the other hand, many of us avoided our most alcohol-flavored pursuits for a few weeks or months until we had built some sober muscles.
That's a really good point. The liquor stores were not open on Sunday's when I quit so watching True Blood was low risk. It took me a good 6 months before I risked walking into a bar to pick up a pizza.

This is such a tough one, and is different for everyone.
I used to like to drink in nice weather. But now I need to associate nice weather with something else, like birdwatching or going on a long walk.
it's hard, it takes time, but you will get there! You said yourself that no one else was drinking anyways, so just don't bring alcohol next time maybe.

sorry the link did not work for you for some reason, Jillian

Here's the same material from a different site
https://dmh.mo.gov/media/pdf/action-...n-and-recovery

and another
https://www.npaihb.org/wp-content/up...r-recovery.pdf

they're pdfs so they work on a scroll down principle.

Doing good overall. Today is day 3 which has proven to be difficult to get past but will stick close to here today. Woke up with sinus headache and allergies, we close on our house in 2 days and these lenders are driving me crazy, but overall good! LOL
