  I have learned to be careful about the computer as it can be addictive and time flys by before you realize how long you were on. Then it is like WTF were did time go. lol I didn't replace it because I dont' drink anymore but before I stopped drinking I spent to much time. I have it under control now as to when I go on. Whic is why I like comming on late I have done what I need to and can set and watch TV while I play on the computer.
  
  I did go through a short period of craving chocolate and other sweets. I don't usually care that much for sweets. I am over that. I think that may have come from when I stopped drinking.

We have to learn how to have fun, loosen up, and cut up in a clean way. Everything from jokes, worldly gossip, and just plain being stupid. It's a way to take a breather from sobriety.
