Welcome to the Forum!!
Sobriety is about more than simply not drinking, I tried that for a long time but never achieved any long term results, instead I realised that it took more, a change in routine, a new lifestyle, one that doesn't facilitate alcohol anymore, the people I hung out with, the activities I got involved in, sorting out that boredom that you mentioned!!
Nothing changes if nothing changes, but it's also going to take a lot of support to do it, because when I was sitting on my own, trying to not think about alcohol, guess what I thought about? I would convince myself to drink every night because that is what my mind wanted me to do, and no one was there to tell me otherwise, support will therefore help to short circuit those thought processes, those internal arguments you'll have with yourself over and over about whether to give up or continue with Sobriety!!
You'll find loads of support here on SR!! Welcome aboard!!
