Hey there
Congrats on 7 months. That is great. But its also early on. I think a routine is very important and its something that most functioning people have to a greater or lesser degree. Very few people who are responsible, work, have families and take care of themselves live without a pretty predictable routine (boring? I don't know. I think boring is a different issue). Its ok to avoid activities, people and places that trigger you. That is smart. Now if everything triggers you outside of work and video games then I would guess you still have work to do. Acceptance is key. When I'm in complete acceptance that I can never, ever drink again, I'm pretty at peace. Give yourself time. And maybe start to really look at the reasons you drank alcoholically....
