Indeed, that can be a dangerous time – on your own with spare funds to hand. Just wondering if there is anything else you can do to ‘protect’ yourself in advance from this kind of ‘temptation’ time? I know you are on your own, but is there anyone who could have some management of your finances (at least for a while), so that you don’t get access without accountability to someone else you trust? Or, if there is no one, are you able to make an account that is marked off in your mind as unavailable?
Definitely good to start new activities, as you say, too. Good to get into different ways of being, that will help to ward off loneliness and temptation.
Best wishes,
