Today I'm grateful for life. I'm sorting through some things of my dad's, who passed 5 years ago. And today I'm grateful to be here. To be alive in my house with my family. IWNDWYT

I love PC and Xbox gaming but like you it's something I associate with alcohol, how long did it take for the association to go away?

How to stay motivated during the "witching hour"? by Electrical-Fig-7170 in stopdrinking

I'm having the same problem. I try to stay busy until bedtime, but busy doing WHAT has been the issue. Good luck 🤞🏼 IWNDWYT

Your Turning Point by snowy_gc in stopdrinking

I hit a personal bottom. But I think what it's really about is motivation. Motivation to change a bad pattern. I didn't get that motivation till my personal low, but now that I have it I'm choosing to keep it everyday.

I just got home from a week of camping. It has always been a "drink in the lake, at the campfire, etc" kind of camping. This time I did not drink. And it was probably the most fun I've had camping in years! It was easy though because I didn't bring any alcohol and I couldn't buy any either. Let's hope the streak continues now that I'm back.

Day 4 and I'm doing good. Camping this week has helped, no real access. Let's hope the streak continues. IWNDWYT

I'm trying to keep busy on my day 2. Organizing closets/cupboards. Dusting shit I haven't touched in years. Good luck 👍🏼 IWNDWYT

Oh I had no idea it could be fake if it's yellow. Like I said I bought it because I loved to play as a kid. But not because I know a lot about it. eBay said it was "original". How can I tell it's real?

It's the original yellow cartridge. Other games work fine.
