Extreme boredom

I have the next five days off I’m stuck here at my sober living facility with no one to talk to and nothing to do I’m in prison. Someone help me

Do you get out to go to recovery meetings?

There are endless options for a sober person to do with 5 days off. Just do something that doesn't involve drinking, and maybe avoid places that remind you of drinking.

Yeah but meetings are only an hour and those are boring

AA saved my life. Just saying

Work out. Go for a walk. Read a book. Go see a movie. Go to a local pet shelter and volunteer. Sleep. Cook.

The only thing we need to change to be sober and happy is everything.

Been there. When your go to activity is using, everything else is boring. Push through it. Be bored. Try to engage in things you used to find fun, and be ok when they aren’t. It isn’t the activity, it’s your brain chemistry. Keep pushing, and you’ll get past it.
