Hi I’m new here and sober as of 5/12/21. Glad to be out of the woods in terms of detox but nervous about a lifetime left without alcohol. It was such a big part of my life...I wonder what to replace it with...
The longer you stay sober the easier it gets
It gets easier as the time goes on
Welcome. I think everyone wonders what to replace drinking with. Some may say God. Personally I like to keep busy and learn new, positive hobbies. Your choices are endless!
Replace it with presence. Being in the moment with those around you is terrifying at first but quickly becomes an integral part of staying sober.
Take it one day at a time
Thanks, can I go to more than 90 meetings in 90 days
The early days... rough days, but doable days. To replace drugs and alcohol I had to find something I enjoyed. I knew I was killing myself, there would be less time to enjoy. My go to was my motorcycle, I got clean in Florida so there was no time of the year I couldn't ride. Find something to keep you busy until you find what you like to do. Sober friends, through a program, will help a lot.
