What kind of things are you into? What things have you thought would be interesting to get into?
I think exercise is a great deterrent. Besides that im in the same situation as you. I get bored and believe that drinking is going to make whatever im doing more fun. Even if im just sitting on the couch. Its so stupid really. I try clean things, go for a walk etc. Im only on day 9

@Foreverfree36! Yes about exercise. Exercise is something I usually have to force myself to do. Hungover? Ain’t happening. To really shake it up I have been getting up at 5 a.m. three days/week and getting to the gym. A rather short 45 minute workout, but it makes a HUGE difference in how my day and week starts out. And I also bring the dog for a 1.5 mile walk daily. These things make me feel so much better. And I think since I have to force myself a bit the benefits are even more. I have been doing this since before Christmas and the benefits are showing. Oh yeah - I am on Day 10, but my drinking behavior for the past while (years?) involves binging for a day or two every few months or so. Really want to stop that. Years ago I was an every day drinker and NEVER exercised.
