I’ve killed a ton of time doing puzzles. Without even knowing it! I’ve accidentally stayed up all night a few times!

Wow, Peter (just above me) took the words out of my mouth. Maybe reflect on some gratitude, gratitude that you are clean and sober. I'm grateful for the clarity that allows me to meditate and not worry about "the next one."

Well, you truly never need an occasion to do anything, so go on & have that adventure. Spend a day at the museum, get lost in the library, grocery shop for a feast, terrorize the night w/ dinner & dancing with the ladies, attend an orchestra- sprinkle some spontaneity on absolutely everything & before you make any excuses- who cares what others may think or say- it's time you embrace your sobriety . Boredom is simply an emotion of actively engaging in anything, right? :woman_shrugging:

Join a gym. It’s been the best coping mechanism for me. When yOu see day to day results , game changer.

I had to embrace my creative side! Anything from taking pictures to crafting even making slideshows... Anything to keep my mind busy for any length of time. And I had to practice doing things before I got bored so that way I wasn't just trying to figure something out when I did get bored

Barnes & Noble or
If you wanna try something different, check out the nearest regional airport. Get with a flight instructor and tell him/ her that you'd like to go up for a discovery flight.

You will learn how to do a pre flight on the entire aircraft.. They will get you seated in.
You'll start the engine , taxi to the runway and fly with you at the controls.

Flight instructor will have controls to help you along.
Industry needs pilots.
Who knows?

Nothing else you have lot of fun.

Organize the drawers in your kitchen, office, bedroom, clean something.
Otherwise hike, bike, walk, ride around. Get to a meeting. Call someone in the program. See if volunteers are needed at any local organization. Senior Center, VA, Food Bank.
