Anyone else notice they can't seem to sit still anymore for very long now sober? I can't tell you how many cabinets and closets I have cleaned out and organized lol

My sponosor says until we are able to sit in a chair for 20 minutes and just enjoy the peace and relative quiet (no music, no phone, no one to talk to) and be content we have not found the serenity recovery has to offer.

Its definitely a work in progress. Going on over 10 months no booze! The urge to drink isn't there anymore but the restlessness still is for sure. I do a lot of yoga and meditation as well trying to calm my brain and it helps. One day at a time!

I can identify. It takes time to calm down and figure out what the heck to do with myself. Keeping busy and being of service is good. Continue to works the steps with a sponsor and the serenity will arrive. Funny thing is serenity startled me at first. Now I realize the moment it goes away.

Absolutely it's the new norm for now. Could be worse lol
