Hi guys… I am wondering what you guys do when bored and feeling like caving in? I like to workout and video games… Approximately 1 hour each… What fun stuff do you do?
Thank you and stay strong !!!

I also battle with boredom as previously my entire life revolved around drinking. People say get a hobby, easier said than done. Find I just like sleeping, have spent last 2 days on the beach but now sun burnt and even more lethargic. Could do some home repairs but just to lazy. Perhaps my body just needs rest!!!

I recommend working out … It will help you get that energy!
I agree… It is an awesome list!
Maybe treat yourself to a new video game?
Take up a crafting hobby?
Join a book club?
Start a game night?
Card night?
Catch up on your favorite show?
Boredom sucks! Growing up I was not allowed to complain about being bored. My mom would always give me a chore list or tell me to go read a book!! I was always able to come up with options that were much better than dishes, reading, or bible study

Great tips! I been studying for the CDL license so that keeps me entertained a bit… Idk why I want it … In just investing my time towards something…
And idk about game nights haha always end up getting wasted lol
We have started game nights, either Catan, pinnacle or spades but we have friends that don’t drink so I could see it being uncomfortable if your guests would want to bring alcohol 
I hope you find some fun things to fill your time. Good luck getting your CDL that’s awesome!!

I felt the same for the first 4-5 weeks gradually just kept getting little more ambition! Still working at it did real good this weekend, hiking, helping brother find his deck(from the snow live in N.E)
Visited with neighbor first in years. Just hope it keeps getting little better. Don’t have a big list of things to do when…still working on it!

I just started crocheting…not a hobby I was ever big into before. I learned a new technique on Youtube and an idea from pinterest to make each row color the high temperature for that day. It helped me stay sober all night and now I am ready for bed. Maybe try looking into a new hobby? Maybe painting, baking or taking up an instrument?

I was averaging about $100 dollars a week on bar tabs. I work 10 hour days 7 days a week. Momma stays home with our 2 boys. I am going to keep $100 a week from my checks and take momma and the boys to do whatever they want. I was selfish in the past and wasted a lot of time and money in bars. All my family got out of it was worry and suffering. My new favorite addiction is my boys reactions when daddy gets home! I let myself get far to caught up in the stress and negativity in every day life. I have a lot of making up to do and will never again put something in front of my beautiful family.

What an awesome honest post. You made me choke up. I have been selfish as well. With the money wasted as well as the time spent getting buzzed, planning the buzz, thinking about the buzz.
