Totally normal to feel that way. Boredom is the enemy because idle hands are the work of the devil. Not sure this will help, but early on I did ANYTHING to stay busy. Mostly I just read or watched documentaries. But when that became stale I would simply go to bed very early. Anything to stay away from the booze. Over time the boredom disappears. When a person is sober they can do literally anything they want.
