I clean SO much. I mean yes, I’m a cleaner for my day job, but I mean at home. Obviously this is a good new habit, but it’s definitely become almost compulsive since I quite drinking. Like an itch that I have to scratch over and over throughout the day. I can’t focus if anything is slightly dirty. I definitely think it’s turning into a form of procrastination or avoidance

I’m sure it’s less problematic than drinking. So whatever keeps you sober.

Yes. And I also get through more in less time and without being annoyed I have to do it. Complete mind shift.

2 kids and one is Mr. popular so there's always like 5-6 teenage boy football players in my house every weekend leaving a path of destruction!!!!

Crazy but I heavily got into watching everything about alcoholism from intervention to recovery. I am trying to learn as much as possible to hopefully try school next year to be a Recovery Coach. Plus it just reminds me also that I don’t want to go back into that h*ll I was in.
My place was filthy when I hit bottom. It's so much nicer now. I wouldn't be the least bit worried to have someone over. It certainly isn't perfect, but it requires just a little daily maintenance instead of a massive effort. So much better.

My addiction is alive and strong! As soon as I quit the drugs & alcohol, I immediately became addicted to sugar, cleaning my house and especially my cars, women, working out, business and so on. Now I recognize my compulsion and can laugh about it, and start to balance out. It’s an ongoing process, even after 14 years of being clean.
