This. That whole “one 6 pack every two weeks” thing didn’t last long. Doctor says I’m in the above average health range, so I sort of lost my motivation to NOT drink.
Good news is, I’ve taken up writing again. 
I tried the harmonica and have come to the conclusion that I’m not cut out to play any instrument ever.
Learn to like boredom.
Seriously. Give up the idea that you need to be having fun all – or even much – of the time. If you need alcohol to make things seem fun, an attitude adjustment is in order. Relax, visit your favorite forums, watch a lousy movie, take another walk with the dogs.
If you’ve got a hobby (woodwork, home remodeling, writing) push yourself a little bit to do it. Without a drink. If you’re bored, that’s not a big deal. Eventually your mind will calm down a little, or find something (less risky than beer) to keep you interested.
Damn zombies!
Shit, zombied again, hey my advice was fun, anyway!! Everyone should make a bead curtain in their lifetime!

Came to suggest this. It’s very meditative and relaxing, and could be really helpful. Also, you get to make pretty drawings!
Oooops. This be old thread…
