Boredom killers
34days in and still struggling to kill time but this stuff has worked for me
Biking/ finding new tv shows/movies
Someone posted somewhere about how they have the hobby of learning new skills (the other day I memorized phone numbers in my contacts, today was how to type properly lol)
Journaling/ stretching/ walking/ light exercise
Cooking/ drinking coffee and laying down listening to true crime, boring history, etc on YouTube
Cleaning/ reorganizing/ decorating
Drawing/ painting/ photography
Sober community activities (by me there’s a group called Phoenix <chicago> that holds free events like rock climbing, mini golf, etc)
Going to meetings- (if you’re anti AA give it a shot you’d be surprised) I’m not religious or someone who’s remotely optimistic or even spiritual but the conversation in there is great +theres all types of groups
If SMART recovery is more your style google their site and there’s a ton of zoom meetings just be ready to hear some kid vent about his jerking off addiction for 20min… some can be unbearable
Push yourself to try new things. I’ve gotten back into studying tech bs I used to be passionate about but really want to try reading fiction, always been somewhat envious of people who instead of scrolling get lost in books
Going for short drives can also be nice
This shit has worked for me pretty well- I used to cave the moment a craving even whispered my name- honestly bought into the idea that you can fight them n win- it’s true- just do something, they don’t last long
I appreciate any suggestions/advice
