I think gardening is a great idea, pc, if that gives you pleasure. Can you think of other pleasurable things you can do to reward yourself just for being alive instead of drinking? No, chores are not an option.I like beverages as a substitute. They work well for me. They can also be very healthy. Stuff like green tea, water, soy milk, etc. It's a slow weaning process. At first, you just want to get the alcohol out of your system. Then, once you're leaning on soy milk, it's really not so hard to wean yourself off of that. At least that works for me.
As for previous failures, please try not to think of them. Of course you failed every time before this. If you hadn't, I wouldn't have a quitting buddy right now! One question, though: did you ever plan your quit in advance before or did you quit kind of on the spur-of-the-moment?
Maybe we should babblemail each other and get to know one another better. That way we can be in touch if we need support in the coming weeks, etc. Whaddaya think?
