Boredom is one of my biggest nicotine triggers, but I’m trying to weaponize it for my advantage. So instead of being bored and thinking, “This is boring I should use,” I’m trying to like, bask in the glory of boredom. It’s a strategy from this book Existential Kink—a great read, and it’s on audible if you can afford it! But failing my ability to enjoy the boredom, I turn on a YouTube video and pretend I’m stuck in place and can’t move until the video ends. Rinse and repeat until the boredom passes or it’s time to do something else

Hey just get to a meeting, read, talk to sober people! Hope all is well!!!!
Boredom is my #1 enemy. I'm working on ways to distract myself. Hope you can work through it too.
Hahaha, I have so many crafts around my house. With that and my three cats you'd never know 2 guys live here. Yeah I had to find something to do with all my free time. I have a young son so I'm blessed enough to have a crafting partner. Because when I get bored I start getting in my head. And that place has so many booby traps for my sobriety. So I find quick crafts I can do because I'm bipolar too so I'm all over the place. The most recent activity is adult horror coloring books.
