I'm very sorry about the loss of your sister.

Welcome!

I think what you are realizing, is that recovery involves a lot of changes. I had to change many things in my life to make it work. I avoided the wine/beer aisle in the supermarket for a long time. I took a different route home from work. I started going out for long walks after supper, which was a huge trigger time for me. I got involved in volunteer work in my community, which was the best thing I could have done. It got me outside of myself and doing something for the greater good. I also had to remove a couple of people from my life.

There is no need to sit at home and feel bored. Are you interested in sports, music? Whatever your interest might be, take a look around and see what you can do to enjoy yourself.
