Jra,
I see some sobering sights when attending historically drunk events.
Like how sober people act and have fun, and how drunks act and have fun.
Imo...the drunk fun looks pretty different as the night drags on.
The tired eyes, the overly emotional discussion, slurred speech, and pass out.
In some cases crazy stuff like fights and infidelity.
I don't miss out when invited since i have the sober muscles to hang.
Thanks.

If I let boredom today push me to drink, I will feel fear, shame and regret tomorrow. I'll probably drink again tomorrow to try to escape the feelings of fear, shame and regret.
If I let boredom today push me towards doing something else - going for a walk, starting a new hobby, learning something about myself, I will feel clear-headed, calm and healthy tomorrow. I might even feel pride. I'll probably want to do more of that walking, new hobby and new learning.
Boredom, fear, shame, regret, enthusiasm, pride..... they're all just states of mind. They are define us, destroy us or make us stronger. Awesome thing is - we get to decide

Thanks guys. Just in a little funk recently. We are moving across the country soon and a bit overwhelmed at the moment. I had to take a break from social media last night and talked with my wife as she made a cake for my kids birthday then went to bed early. I appreciate the replies.
Often, when I'm bored, I take my dog(s) for a walk. Sometimes my old dog doesn't want to go, so I just take my young dog.
Just getting outside in the fresh air makes me feel better.

I started building models again, like when I was young. Puzzles are good too, just something to distract and occupy you. I get how moving is overwhelming. Try to par down/ donate as much as possible. It is a great time to clean closets, put things on Ebay.
