Hey, Liss...i only recently got a job but i know i needed sober time before i could be a productive worker and not a basketcase, freaking out over coworkers liking me or not and keeping a clear enough head to do my job. Basically, my brain and emotions needed an overhaul before i was fit enough for the workforce.
Boredom, feeling lost, feeling like life is lacking...this happens a lot in early recovery. What helped me was going to meetings and hanging out with sober alcoholics. I took on service positions and that gave me a sense of purpose. Have you considered joining a support group or AA? That way, you can find a place where you fit an and can be of service.
