Well, I’m in a divorce, and I find it very difficult to be alone and without adult company (I have 2 kids). I need something to do – don’t want to have to go out a lot… It’s important to me because i’m trying to quit drinking to alleviate stress. The evenings are long and lonely sometimes. What can I do? I love cooking, I love exercising, and I like movies. Other than that? If anyone would share some ideas, I would be grateful.

I’m in the middle of a divorce, with two kids, buying a house… and I’m drinking more than ever to try and not stress over everything. The problem is, it makes things worse. I’m tired, my kids are getting old enough to notice I’m drinking, my best friend is fed up with me being angry when I drink and taking it out on him, OH, I could go on and on. I’m scared that I am not going to be able to stop. So today, I woke up and decided to do some research, and to stop for today. And tomorrow I will stop for today, etc….
