I am in the process of trying to get sober, I struggle with boredom. I have a physical job, so when I get home I am tired and struggle with physical ailments… so I get home and I’m bored but I have no energy to go to the gym or go for a walk… how do i occupy myself in these hours?
Thank you
Many things man. Just enjoy and relax, cook a nice dinner, if you like games play some Xbox, go to a meeting, therapist, draw, the things you loved to do after work can still be done. Just without the drink. You’ll get your energy back and start finding yourself, time, patience, one day at a time
Hey Mich, glad you found us. There is a wealth of information in these pages, spend some time searching and reading the wisdom and stories of the people here. Getting sober is hard, very hard. Most alcoholics can not do it. But with community we can find the way. It is a long journey, so forget about the destination, and focus on the path. One day at a time we commit to our 24 hours of sobriety, I do every morning. It gets easier after a few months away from the DOC, and as we accumulate small wins. Keep coming back my friend.
