Congrats on 1 week!!

It gets better. Try to take things one day at a time. One thing that helped me was to get a planner and write down what I wanted to do each day. It helped me to figure out what to do next when I was bored.

For example:

Wake up
Shower
Eat Breakfast
Work
Lunch
Chores
Read
Go for a walk
Spend time here on SR
Dinner
Wash the dishes
Play drums

Sometimes I don't get all the stuff on my list done, but at least it helps me to stick to healthy recovery behaviors and early on it really helped me figure out what to do next.

The other thing that can be helpful is just to ask yourself what you're going to do right now and do that thing and then ask what is next after that.
