29 days alcohol free. Bored lonely and tempted
Today I am 29 days alcohol free. I have been feeling so incredibly bored, lonely and tempted this weekend.
Socially nothing has changed, I never did much socializing aside from drinking at home and talking to my friends or family on the phone (all of which live in different states). I have hobbies, all of which I do at home. I’m single. I can be a little shy at first, so the idea of going to a meet up or something feels like a stretch.
I quit daily drinking so that I would force myself outside of the house, to have a more fulfilling life. I knew this boredom would come and I would have to face it. Here I am and all I want to do is grab a six pack and drink, at home, alone.
Update: I didn’t drink! 30 days tomorrow!! Thanks for all the replies, genuinely helped me so much! Played a video game, cooked. Next step.. some sort of social life.
