After drinking nearly every day for the last several months, I'm trying to resist not drinking for as long as I can. But when I go without drinking for any longer than a day I become incredibly snappy. Since I don't have friends, i.e. a support/social network to fall back on, how do I begin making the most out of sobriety before I fall off the wagon?
i feel you bruv. i used to get hammered out of boredom and then do stupid shit on facebook. take it a day at a time for the beginning, its all about resetting your habits. maybe pick up weed?
try weaning yourself off little by little. Set some goals and try to meet them. AA may help more with this stuff I don't really know.

I'm literally in the same situation, pick up some hobbies, make some sort of project for yourself, distraction is key
maybe also try going lighter, if youre drinking spirits or wine, maybe only buy beers, even light beers. its a step.

I've been thinking about that. It'd probably be a lot healthier than drinking litres of beer a night. Trouble is I need a contact and I have no idea how to get one.

I'm one of those people who can't stop at one. Once I start drinking that's me for the night, I'm going to keep going until I go to bed or I'm about to throw up. I suppose hobbies are the only thing, trouble is I get so angry at myself when I inevitably fuck up trying to do a hobby.
