When you give up drinking, it's good to replace it with something good. I go to daily meetings, talk to other women, and find something you like to do... crafts, exercise, cooking, etc

My experience is chores, recipes, tv, cycling & getting a coffee.

Saying the serenity prayer, and reading Our Daily Bread every morning :pray::sunrise_over_mountains:
Helps me get through everyday clean and sober :muscle:

A great book called living sober . It’s amazing HALT hungry angry tired lonely if you are any of these in early sobriety . Get a sponsor and get to work

I keep myself busy cleaning! Go for a walk if you have a gym in the town you live in get a membership that helps

Go to meetings and get involved in the community. Early soberity sucks. I remember I spent all day saturday at meetings since I didn't know what sober people did.

Reach out n develop a crowd in sobriety with u n at meetings meet for coffee go on walks library's even go back n get some extra classes

The gym is a win/win. At least for me it is. I use my extra energy there.

Sing and dance like no one is watching.

Agreed :muscle:t2::muscle:t2:

That can be hard, but right now I'm enjoying all of the free time and extra energy.

I found keeping busy with solo activities in between irl/virtual socializing helps tons. I am partial to art and music. Also make a list of shows or movies or something you want to see and get to crossing them off

Go to a meeting

Going to meetings is a great way for fellowship and accountability I equate it as a job 5 days a week with weekends off and my reward is confident sobriety - just say noπŸ™‚

Find activities to do to kill the boredom like go to a meeting or find new hobbies
