Just back to meetings and sobriety. Loneliness and boredom are really hitting me hard. Any ideas that have helped for you?

Break the cycle of your “routine”. Take a different route to work, shop at a different store, get outside and breathe in the fresh air. Try stepping out of your comfort zone. You might just find something you didn’t know you’re interested in, you’ll find passion for living instead of looking for an easy way out from feeling.

Thanks. I went on two walks today and to a meeting. About to go to the second. Tried movies, shopping, painting and board games with my daughter. Been going to church/Bible study. There seems to be so much time to fill being sober

You’re doing exactly what you need to be doing! No more instant gratification for us and that’s ok. You’ve been accustomed to it and that’s why it can seem so hard at times not getting what we want out of a situation. Once we stop putting ourselves first and can think beyond ourselves every once in awhile we see how much good we can bring to those around us. Aint that the truth tho, all we have is time now when it’s not spent trying to forget. Lol
