Hi StaceyLove - The forum slows down a bit at night....I'm sure you'll get more responses though.....

Have you been clean/sober long? I think the whole boredom problem is hard in the first weeks..... we're used to getting "instant happiness" (or at least instant "not caring about happiness"?)

It took me several months to get going again, to develop some interests, to get some energy back, and to get used to feeling things again.

If all else fails, make a gratitude list - it really helps turn my thinking around. And things always look better in the morning, too, after a good night's sleep.

Hope you feel better soon!
