Time To Reinvent Myself

I've been a pretty heavy drinker since my late 20's. I'm in my early 40's now and it's time to stop. I tried to stop about a year ago, but gradually drifted back into my habits of drinking between 5-15 drinks a day. Recently it's gotten to the point that I'm drinking the moment I wake up.

It's making me fat, it's causing trouble in my marriage, it's making me ineffective at my job.

I'm not using booze, it's using me.

I was also a pretty heavy pot smoker for many years. I managed to put that down a few months ago, but when I did the boozing got heavier. When I stop doing one, I tend to start doing the other more. A big seesaw.

But what I'm trying to figure out is what to do with the time that I am going to have on my hands when I'm not spending my evenings and weekends loaded to the gills. Is life going to get boring?
