    I have replaced alcohol with.....

    Being grumpy,
    being happy,
    sleeping soundly (eventually)
    long walks
    zumba!
    piece of mind
    cooking
    being able to taste what I cook
    looking forward with ambition- instead of always looking back with guilt.

            not lying to myself
            water instead of wine
            too much working at night time

            7 days in and know that the balance will come in time as it's not my first time around with sobriety ;-)

                This is a good thread...making my cupeth running over with warm fuzzies. That is a good thing. Here's my list.

                I have replaced AL with:

                This inspiring, life changing website!
                Reading other stuff besides this inspiring website.
                Getting back to my writing! I have 2 books in the works already. (Hadn't written a damn thing when life was controlled by wine).
                Sleeping soundly instead of letting AL give me a poor night's sleep due to irregular sleep patterns. This is HUGE for me!
                A respect and love for myself.
                Water, good, clean, pure water!
                Healing Herbal Tea
                Yes, Coffee, there's always the coffee
                Fresca, it's my new best friend when I really feel like I need to sip something out of a glass. Donned in a martini glass with crushed ice and a slice of lime, Fresca looks as provocative as a mixed drink!
                Travel! Yes, I have replaced AL with a trip to the Caribbean this month! I wouldn't have been able to afford it if I kept pouring money down the drain on not so cheap red wine.
                Other things...clothing, cosmetics, magazines...little things that make me happy.
                Dreams...the biggest best of all is that I have replaced AL with my dreams. Got my groove back baby!
                Whatever you invest in the circle of LIFE is what comes back to you. Multiplied. What you give to people is what they eventually give back to you. Don't do the math. Just increase your LOVE.

                BE HAPPY...BE CONNECTED...BE HEALTHY!

                  Wow

                  Switched off early last night and there were no replies to this thread. Come back today and it's mega popular! Glad to give something back for everything this place has given me. I just can't believe MWO wasn't on my list Sorry

                          Reading in the evenings. Such a pleasure!
