Just feeling really bored with the repetitiveness. It’s like groundhog day!
My drinking was horribly repetitive, and so is my sobriety. I suspect that’s just life...trudging along with some highlights and lowlights thrown in. As I’ve gotten older I have accepted that it can’t all be fireworks and rainbows, and I’ve evolved into experiencing loads of contentment in my boring, repetitive life.
I believe that repetition is what makes good (or bad) habits. I also sleep early, get up early, work, exercise, parent. Each day I do so the right and healthy choices become more ingrained.
And that’s good, because nothing ever stays the same. Life will throw me curve balls, good and bad, and I’ll need the strength and resources I’ve built up in the slow times to manage in a healthy way. For me, the mundane time is when I build up resources for the tough times.
Congrats on your sober time!
