What to do instead of drinking

[broken halo]

Anything. Go for it. My triggers over the last 12 years were illness and loss. Everyone experiences illness and loss, it's shit but they deal with it without drinking themselves into a stupour.

I got a kick in the teeth yesterday, yet more illness, this time I will be different. I will be strong, sober supportive. This time I need to be the strong one. Today, instead of drinking I did some yoga and signed up for an hour with a trainer.

So far, exercise and video games are my two top activities (aside from posting on here of course).

I have found cleaning the house works wonders. But if your anything like me your gonna have to completely trash your house every few days because you will run out of cleaning fast !

I have had a very similar type of OCD thing going on also of late. My most ambitious project tonight was that I cleaned my refrigerator and defrosted the freezer. Of course, this was after I polished my coffee table, end tables, entertainment center and bedroom set, ironed all my work shirts with military precision, and organized my bookshelf.

WTF is wrong with me? LOL

I dunno...but I have known some speed freeks that would envy us :H

Lucky for me I have my Desk area waiting for me tomm. Lots and lots of little cool things for me to shine up and make pretty.

I wonder if women know about this (Whatever "this" is) when they are looking for a man..I can just hear the conversation .. Her: "Hey stud.. I hear you quit booze" .. Him: "Aye sweet thing.. been 5 days" .. Her: "Oh.. well then.. you want to come home with me ?" ...

They are crafty them girls are

What to do instead of drinking

Tomorrow after the gym, I plan to go to the hardware store and buy some new drapes to accent the huge bay windows in the front of my loft overlooking the street. And yes, I have already picked them out online and did the various measurements

Now that you mention it, I would bet anything most females would be rather impressed with my newly stylized and polished digs. However, if it is too perfect, it could give off the Patrick Bateman "American Psycho" vibe. Or, alternatively, I suppose they could assume I am a flaming homosexual since about 99.9 % of male bachelors in their 20's are more adept at knowing different brands of Tequila than they are with playing Martha Stewert with their living space.

I guess I could take up cooking next? lol.

Oh come on surely you should be buying the material so you can sit at your sewing machine and sew the drapes (in England we say curtains!!) yourself! Don't weaken, got to keep busy and domesticated!!:H:H:H:
