As someone who drank v.copiously all day every day for years, it's somewhat easier than you might imagine, just gotta stick it out till you're in a new routine. (BTW something very unexpected, I had zero sweet tooth when I was a heavy drinker, gave up booze and a month or so later I was craving cake every night. Not sure how common it is, but push through that too I think.)
- Graffur 5y agoDocumentaries is a great recommendation. I have plenty added to my lists on Netflix and Disney+.

- codpiece 5y agoAnecdotal evidence, but in my experience many people crave sweets after quitting alcohol. I believe it's a known thing in AA.

- neom 5y agoHN certainly helped me greatly when I was in the throngs of removing myself from my daily engagements with alcohol. Whenever I was at my worst I could come on and have a stimulating conversation with someone kind, took my mind off the physical and mental stress of detoxing. I thought about killing myself many times, but HN was always there to keep me excited about life. I owe a lot to this community, I'd go as so far as to say it contributed to saving my life given the path I was on.
