That was my experience. And actually still is--too much to do to be bored. Besides meetings, sponsoring, being sponsored, having a commitment, I get to live a life beyond my wildest imagination.
If you put in the work, you'll get the results. Doesn't happen by just not drinking and going to a few meetings.
Yes I agree with this when I say I'm bored it doesn't necessarily mean with my kids or my family or obligations, I'm hands I'm bored with myself and that I'm using alcohol as an excuse to actually find something instead it's a lot of laziness involved. And it's scary having to tap in deep down inside and figure out what it is that really makes you happy.
