The boredom killed me in the first month sober (well it felt like that). Now I don't feel bored at all and feel amazingly rested in the morning. I actually had a MASSIVE list that I wrote of 101 things to do before drinking because boredom was my main trigger!
List included.....
AA
Read
Walk, run, gym, weights, exersize u enjoy
Listen to music
Cook a feast
Coffee, chocolate
Wash the dog
Call a friend
Clean like a crazy person (to music)
Anything but drink basically! I couldn't add anything more than simple things to my list as I have a 2 year old who limits what I can do but we do soooo much more together now I'm not distracted by drinking. Seriously....the boredom subsides quicker than u would think. It feels soooo long while u are living it (the first month) but its into the second month before u know it and in the scheme of things is nothing. I look back and think what a waste drinking all that time was.....how boring!!!
I read something once....
Q. What will I do if I don't drink?
A. Why, everything else!
