Early recovery can be really hard-- I know it was for me because I had planned everything around using, and I started going stir-crazy after about three weeks. Check out the local website for your town/county. Most of them have activities and stuff that 'locals' don't always know about. Go to a local Y, and see about playing some pickup, check out a museum or gallery, library, parks etc. Put on a tourist hat and check out stuff you usually wouldn't- bearing in mind what you would have usually checked out in the past- led to those DUI's and being in recovery now.

And yes- you can be young and in recovery and still have fun. I'm 20-- and 5 months clean and sober, and I had been hitting the club scene hard since I was 15. Another thing to remember if you check out meetings and feel like you're the only young person there-- those folks in meetings went through exactly what you're going through too. They partied hard too-- and probably also have some excellent suggestions to alleviate boredom.
