That’s a worthwhile distraction! I was very much the same in my early days, I also tended to let my house go and when the fog of drunken days cleared it was embarrassing how dirty things had gotten. I hope you can enjoy your lovely clean space! It is definitely a good idea to have a plan for how to curb cravings and to focus on recovery work. Have you ever tried writing in a journal? Or reading “Quit Lit?” There are plenty of really great books out there. Some are more memoir style, some more educational/instructional self help style. Here’s a link to some books that you might want to check out.
