Nine days is AWESOME! You're among alcoholics here so we all know what an accomplishment that is. Heck, I remember how much of a challenge three days was, so you're triple that! Give yourself a pat on the back.
As for the boredom, that my dear, is addiction. It's the voice nattering away in your ear telling you that else in life is as interesting as drinking. Total and complete poppycock! Don't worry though, the longer you stay sober, the more that voice recedes into the distance and other hobbies and interests start to emerge.
