Hello, everyone! I'm new here. Yesterday marked 6 months sober. I'm eating cake, working at a new job, enjoying being present in my life. I'm proud but I'm also bored. I have been able to ride it out before. I'm terrified of having to restart my days of sobriety count over. But sometimes that feels like a very uninspiring reason to keep me from relapsing. Anyway, just wanted to say hello. Hope everyone is having a great evening.

Congratulations on your 6 months sobriety. Boredom can be a huge problem and it’s nice to have sober friends . I sent you a friend request already. You are welcome

Hi Brook. Tomorrow marks 4 months. Boredom, alone time is tough. That's when I drank the most. What helps me most is my ipod and reading posts, books on everything. I hope that helps. Reach out anytime.
6 months is a milestone, congratulations. Good work and good luck

I understand boredom and wanting to do something exciting. I avoid relapsing by reminding myself what happens and has happened and then I reach out to others in the program. A quick gratitude checklist helps me too
