Wheel spinning can be dangerous for us newly minted sober people. Early on I was afraid to not fill up every minute with "stuff." It's better now, but I made sure to keep as busy as possible in those first weeks/months. I wasn't working, either, and felt like I had few friends. Coming here was a HUGE help to me. As were meetings. I did (still do) a lot of hiking. Going to movies. Reading. Gardening. Housework. Ok I don't do much housework anymore. Anyway - what you choose to do to fill time doesn't have to spectacular fun stuff, just stuff.
