What can I do on the weekends instead of drink?

Make a list of the types of activities that bring you enjoyment. You can even think back to when you were a child and the types of things you liked to do. Getting outside to hike or run, making a date to take a class with a friend, volunteering in some way and being of service to others. I suggest making that list so when you are in the moment and your mind goes blank, you can refer to the list and make plans.

Hiking, kayaking, Board games, art, museums, zoo, volunteering, wellness activities and events, cooking, etc... Perhaps amongst your group of friends you create a bucket list of sorts and each weekend or time you get together plan your next item to cross off.

Spend time with others that bring a mutual joy.
