The urges are coming stronger and I'm in fear my sober streak is going to end.
I'm a single male in my early 30s and I'm so used to going out to the bars on Saturdays... where do you meet women? How do you fight the urge to drink? Who do you talk to? I've alienated many people, both with my drinking and my politics, so I tend to become so detached...
I am going to out cheese Left295....
Prayer and Church. Not just any church, traditional Latin Mass Catholicism. Old school. The oldest.
Volunteer. Animal shelter, VA hospital, doesn't matter. Take yourself out of the center of your universe.
Exercise. Like you mean it. 2-a-days with walking in the morning and lifting in the evening. Curl until you hurl. Can't drink if your biceps cramp when you pick up a glass.
All of these things will give you something to look forward to besides alcohol and provide opportunities to meet other people who aren't spending their time drinking and might connect you with someone you want to marry.
