The brain is fascinating!

Ignore my badge; it’s day 17 for me today. I’ve been doing pretty well so far and feeling ok for the most part. However, for the last few days I’ve been ITCHING to buy things online. Skincare, makeup, kitchen stuff…it finally dawned on me that my brain is looking for that dopamine hit that I was previously getting from alcohol. It’s still there, kind of gnawing at me but now I’m onto it I guess so I’ll wait out the craving. Suppose I should go find healthy ways to feed my brain, like exercise. Any suggestions out there?
