I’m 54 and have been drinking almost daily for 25 years. Not always a lot sometimes just one or two glasses of wine but it has become such a habit. When I’m bored, sad, lonely, happy, celebrating. So as I sit here wanted to have a glass I’m looking for tips on how to do this

I’m really new to sobriety as well. Just about where you are as well. I’ve drank i severely heavy for the past few years and I am now trying to quit while my kids are still fairly young. I feel at a loss as well, I’m a day and half sober and it is flipping difficult so far. What I have been trying to do so far is try to keep myself busy when I feel like I may want a drink. So right now I have been cleaning more just to get my mind off of it…

Me too!! Cleaning and decluttering just trying to keep busy.
My motivation is to feel better, have more energy and better health and sleep. Also to be a better role model for my adult children

Visualize yourself posting a milestone you’d be proud of. Maybe start with a two week milestone goal. When you get there, bump it up. Keep reaching forward. Xo
