[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I appreciate the advice from everyone. I don’t think AA is for me. Alcohol played a big role in my partner’s death, and it would be incredibly triggering. I will work on working out and forcing myself to do some hobbies I used to enjoy. I just need to make myself do it.

Thank you, everyone. [/quote]

OP, I don't know if you are still reading. I am 11 months and 9 days sober after being a habitual, then heavy, then problem drinker over three decades. I get exactly what you mean by boredom. Alcohol was such a huge part of my life that I couldn't imagine how I would live without it. By the time I quit this time (because like a lot of people it took several tries) I was in a different headspace. I still had bouts of boredom, but overall my thoughts were more along the lines of, "I don't [i]have[/i] to drink again and I get to do X instead."

It may sound corny, but once I truly believed that the urge to drink lessened over time. And success builds on success. I've recommended it before, but I joined Reframe online. There are daily (or more than daily if you want) meetings online. You can be on camera or not. You can speak or not. There are also daily activities and a forum for support. Just putting it out there in case it helps. [/quote]
