The awesome thing about sobriety is creating a new life. Drunk life for me anyway was mostly in my head. I didn't DO anything. Just sitting there drinking.
So I would say... of course you're bored if you're sitting on the porch all night
. Do something! (now I sound like my 5 year old. "I want to DO something mommy!!!").
I used to think that alcohol made everything more fun, too. But the truth was that it made everything
I did more fun. And I didn't really do anything. So yes, maybe sitting on my ass is more fun with a drink. But shopping, working out, volunteering, playing with my kids... all those things are way more fun without alcohol.
So I guess I'd say what I said to myself and not in a mean way - "Get a life".
congrats on your first week!
