I am incredibly used to leaving work and immediately hitting

I am incredibly used to leaving work and immediately hitting the bottle.

Today will be the first day I do not, as I am able to stay away from alcohol during the weekend.

I have gotten so used to using as a way to decompress after a day at a stressful job.

I know I will not drink today but what are some good options for things to do otherwise?

I know life will seem boring after I leave.

Thanks friends :slight_smile:

Find something you enjoy doing and do it. Try new things that you never thought you’d like. I thought I’d hate kayaking and two years later that’s all I do after work if I don’t go to a meeting. Change things up and you’ll find something better to do than drink!

Hike, play golf, archery was always one of my favorite things to do. Just think of all the extra time you will have to do whatever you want!

I’d be lying if I said today was easy, but thanks everyone.

Hit the gym bro!!!! Great therapy!!

I go walking a lot and spend time in nature. I used to think I needed to be like a skilled outdoorsman lol but really you can find a nice tree just about anywhere
Being active and moving is important to get rid of that nervous tension, so walking is a great coping mechanism.
Or organizing/cleaning is helpful too.
