I don’t struggle with alcoholism. I just have no interest in drinking, and therefore it seems I will NEVER have a social place at my agency. It drives me fucking crazy how obsessed they are with booze

I’ve slowly started drinking less and less. And the less I’m drinking the more I realize just how much of my time revolved around alcohol. From going to get it, to drinking it to fighting hangovers. Now I realize I need something to fill all that time with. Especially now that I’m not spending all day saturday and sunday deathly hungover. I go for walks and run errands…but in a shock to me…there’s still a lot of time left. How did you start spending your time once you stopped drinking?
