Ideas on ways to pass time?

Less than 7hrs hours away from getting to 3 days Sober. It’s unreal how many hours are in a day when sober!!! My anxiety get the better of me. Im struggling to keep busy

  • cleaned up around house
    *already went for a walk
    *went to the store
    *talked to a friend
    *talked to a neighbor
  • played a board game with the kids.

Any ideas super appreciated

My first week sober, I felt like the time crawled by lol I spent some days taking a nap, other days reading for pleasure and reading recovery material. I also watched movies, Ted talks, played video games, watched shows, etc. I volunteered just so I could meet different people and get my hands in the dirt (it was a cooperative garden project).
There are many things to do when not spending your time using :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Exercise.
Eat Tater Tots.
Read a good book, while eating tater tots.
Listen to a good podcast, while exercising.
Then eat tater tots.

Or, take a nap. Naps are hugs that we give to ourselves.
