I am doing great on this being sober thing. I am just getting bored. That seems to be the hardest thing for me. I have to start finding things to do again. Keeping busy seems to help.

@stephanie302886 .. First off CONGRATULATIONS 
on your 60 days. Keep up the good work.
Second... Read, I'd suggest, the Big Book of AA starting with the Doctors Opinion. Exercise... If you can start working out. Go for walks join a gym (if possible).
Third... Do your best to attend meetings.
You can do it.

Congratulations on 6mo! Life is good! Stay strong 
I'm in the same boat as far as being bored and I definitely don't want to walk around in my thoughts because that's a neighborhood not worth walking thru again. So I work on my school stuff, binge watch movies or TV shows, I have a slight problem with scrolling 
. Again congrats on your recovery your doing great

Awesome job Stephanie!
I recall Early in sobriety, I too found myself bored because now I had the time, additional effort, and money ,that I never had before!. So I tried engaging in activities that required extreme concentration, and consistencies that would have never been achieved while using! To this day ,I continue many of those same activities and hobbies and find more joy than I could have ever imagined. Your accomplishments are amazing, watch how they'll enhance your life with time and patience.. great job
For me I have to ask myself questions like today I say do I wanna get high today or do I want to work to make money to ride my bike I say well I don't wanna get high and so I go to work make money and ride my bike ..... I say the same thing for going to the show or concert or cookout or convention etc it works fa me either I wanna get high or I wanna do something to enhance my life for the better and I like enhancening my life for the better i hope that was helpful to ya ....
Thatās amazing! Iām almost there myself to my own amazement. I couldnāt have gotten through without reading my psychological thriller booksš playing mindless games, etc. Things I enjoy doing. Distractions. I understand the boredom. It hasnāt been easy especially since my husband keeps drinking like I used to but I now realize how stupid I acted through him and he really really annoys me now lol. Funny how we thought weāre being so clever and funny when weāre drunk but we really just look stupid and well, drunk!
