This is an interesting view on boredom. I forgot where I first saw this (it might have been here somewhere), but I think it could be a useful read for us in our early days of sobriety.

I know, for me, the idea that life will be boring without alcohol kept me drinking for years.

It's a little wordy, but if you have some time, maybe give it a read.

From the article:
So, a little gratitude, when you get bored. After all, boredom is a privilege, right? Your essential needs are taken care of, even your essential wants are taken care of. What percentage of people in the world even have the luxury of boredom?

That's a good way of looking at it.

Interesting article. I never really believed in "boredom." It simply doesn't exist, it's a state of mind, if you allow it to be. I also don't believe in "stress."

The boredom allows the voices in my head to be heard loud and clear. I think I need to go to a DR to have them turned off. Anxiety I think is my problem but I need to get that checked out! I am looking forward to lost of boredon in the future.
