24 days sober and easily my biggest problem is boredom in the evenings/weekends I’m sure that’s common. What has helped you in the past?

Thanks for the invite, this is my first step into any kind of support ever and even it is out of my comfort zone but I’m hoping in the future to be more open to meetings. My life is a lot different now than it was before I started drinking but I do think exercise is a perfect start.

Can’t really ask for advice and then ignore when it’s given :joy: I’ll stay invisible but see what it’s like

Oh wow, almost identical. There’s only so much HBO Max and Diet Dr Pepper a person can consume :joy: I’ll read through that thread.

Try to find a hobby you like. If that doesn’t work, there is always exercise. During the pandemic I worked out twice a day after I lost my job. Did a loy of walking, too. Glad that you are checking out a meeting.

Thanks! I’m looking into some things I might enjoy like theatre but the next opportunity is a couple months away. I believe this app will be very helpful

I do juggling. Sounds boring? Go on toutube. There’s a whole world out there. It’s fun, very good for the brain, gives you physical exercise. You slowly get better and better, it gives you small moments of achievement. You can also juggle with a pertner (never done yet). Finally you can go out and impress people :grin: (also never done yet).

Thanks everyone. I couldn’t reply because I was limited on my first day. Didn’t want anyone to think I was ignoring them :joy:

Is the reply limit a daily thing or just on the first day? Need to pace myself.

Doing MUCH better tonight, hope you’re all well!
