I know that feeling well. If you are like me, the thrill seeking, adrenaline addicted type of alanoid then I can share a few ideas.

What worked for me, when the drama was gone and I was left with that surplus of silence, was to _replace_ the drama with something equally exciting, but healthy.

Go parachuting, and then become an instructor.

Become a certified scuba diver.

Go to the gym and train for a 5K run that gives proceeds to charity, then train for a half marathon, then a full.

Become a wall climber.

Take martial arts classes and work your way up to a black belt.

Volunteer at the local women's shelter.

Go back to school and get a degree in something fun, like playing guitar, then start a band.

That "silence" that you hear is the world waiting for you to get out there and participate
