Need some suggestions on how to handle this bordem. I

If you got a therapist or even like your primary doctor whatever . You can ask them about it and they can direct you to a professional that can test you or if you want. You can google ADHD testing and find good doc online that can provide the test and hopefully can get you some relief

I find productive, positive things to engage in. Striving to improve my work hours/responsibilities, joining a church worship team to have a sober music outlet, getting involved in volunteer work for local rehab clinics or helping AA/NA meetings in the area, mentoring a guy who's followed me through my old treatment program, hanging with family, whatever fills the time and builds you as a person.

Meetings. Lots of meetings. I went to 2-3 a day sometimes in my first year. Too much time in my own head wasn't a good place. Good luck

Cuisine!
Buy fun new ingredients, try new cooking techniques and enjoy new fun meals!!

I also exercise and chat with friends filling in the void that is the possibility of living with my thoughts.

I’m almost 3 years and this is still my biggest issue. But in the big scheme of things, there are worse problems. We’re sober!!! But it does get to be an issue. Long walks are good for me on a lot of levels. Try something outside the box, like refinishing a piece of furniture. Buy it at a thrifts store, research, buy basic supplies and if it doesn’t turn out at least you were busy.

I’ve been going for walks listening to music. I go to the movies a lot. I love trying new food places. I go to a lot of amateur comedy nights. Sometimes I go to times square and check out the street performers. I write a lot. Whether it’s poetry or my book of all the experiences I’ve been through. Find a new hobby

Doing better with boredom. I have had to get out of the house and looking for a job I like better :blush::ok_hand:

Hbu?

Almost 2 months in and nobody is asking what steps you’re working on? I promise you if you work those steps the way they are intended you will not be bored 2 months in. Get a sponsor that will not go easy on you. Life and death remember?
