Tips? Stuff I can do with my family ideally. Reading alone or watching Netflix with my wife can become repetitive quickly and I’m trying to chill and have fun without drinking. I’m finding it surprisingly hard to find that kind of reprieve from life’s stressors.
The Mrs and I took a nice long walk yesterday. Gave us time to chat about life and enjoy the beautiful weather. Do you have a park nearby? Maybe y’all can throw a ball around, or ride bikes?? As the weather gets hit and muggy for us down here in Florida, you either gotta be in the water or in the AC. How old are the kids??
Find a new hobby talk to your self and talk to yourself out of wanting to think that you need to party on the weekends because you had a hard gay rain in a journal connect with people most of all love yourself enough so you don’t have to drink
Have you tried something new? Instead of cooking dinner at home, go out and cook your dinner - Doubles as a date night... I would suggest being adventurous.. do things you normally wouldn't do. Solo, with your family and your friends . Mix it up! Every day is a new day, and you can basically do anything without drinking
