Yay Ach!!! Yes, it can be boring but I've realized with time that I much prefer boredom to boozing. At least I don't wake up feeling like I got hit by a truck when I spend the evening bored.

I had to reset my thinking and learn that normal life can be dull. But I also learned to appreciate the naps in the afternoon, television (I actually enjoy and remember shows!) and just relaxing. During my 5 years of abusing alcohol, I don't remember once ever truly relaxing. I was always busy drinking or thinking about drinking or recovering from drinking.

I've only got 9 months but slowly I'm filling my time with things I enjoy - reading, movies, and believe it or not, eating!! I've recently become interested in the foods I eat and getting proper nutrition. Go figure. Lol!!
