Can't believe I have made it to 5 days.
I have been a long time drinker, especially right at this time of the evening, but instead I am reading this forum and absorbing info and strength and friendship from all of you.
Random question but how do you put a pic by your name like everyone has ?

Hi

I think if you go to Quick Links in the blue menu bar
And then User Control Panel
You can Edit Avatar

The image has to be below a certain size, though

Also, CONGRATULATIONS on Day 5!

We are here to offer our experience, strength, and hope to help you stay sober. This is a great site. I give a lot of credit for my recovery to SR. I'm sure you'll find it helpful also.

Read a book.
Watch a show.
Watch YouTube videos.
Go for a walk.
Play on the SR arcade.

Lots of stuff to do! Just no drinking.

Be patient, it does get better, but it takes a while to rebuild your social life. Like many most of my relationships and social events centered around drinking before.

I agree, I've been bored and drank and then regretted it and wished I would have remained bored.

I think boredom, or not knowing what to so with ourselves, has led to a lot of drinking

Boredom is a bitch. If I find it difficult to concentrate I usually opt for quick entertainment, like Youtube or the short sitcoms on tv. I like to read but find myself getting easily irritated or distracted.
