Exercise, vounteer work and support groups are great ways to fill empty time.

You should get a dog or animal. They are extremely loyal and lots of fun. Always willing to take a walk or chill out with. Just make sure you get one with a temperment that fits well with yours.

I just finished vacuuming the house. Since I sobered up and started helping around the house I don't have a lot of "free" time.
Meetings and helping the newcomers keeps me quite satisfied as well.

Wishing you the best.

Boredom to me always meant I was doing nothing....When I quit drinking I started working on keeping it that way.

i 'recovered stuff i had done in the past- skiing, whitewater etc. later i became a rabid bass/pike fisherman... threw a little camper on the truck, bought an old boat and spent 5 weeks in Northern Ontario. Played music again. Read challenging tomes. added 3500 sq ft of shop and and a "glass room" to my home, wrote a novel...

Now i raise a few chickens and am building my 3rd boat- a 31' catamaran. Got one hell of a lot more time n money n ambition than i ever had before recovery...

I am enrolling in a certification program I have been wanting to do for a while. It's going to take up a lot of my free time so there shouldn't be a lot of, "Hmmmm.....what to do...what to do.....?" going on in my head.

I think I read this here: Boredom is not being able to decide what you are going to do when you've already decided not to do anything.

I am writing songs for an album, and learning about home recording.
Boredom is natures way of indicating you can take on more

I read and post on the forum and watch cops arrest people on my street.

It seems like we all go through a period of boredom, so maybe it's a normal thing (?). I used a lot of quick fixes in the beginning (reading, spending time here, doing crafty things, washing my car, whatever....). Some days I just put one foot in front of the other.

It took me some time to feel excited about life again, but it was worth the wait!
