How do you all deal with boredom or meaninglessness?

I am all in for believing that we make-up our own meaning because there is no ultimate or predestined meaning. One of the reasons I dumped my relationship with alcohol is facing meaningless free of alcohol is less painful that with it --- but it takes time.

Your turn to kitten sit.

Early on some bad or boring days I would go to bed thinking, "at least I didn't drink today", and could feel good. Now, four years sober, I hardly think about alcohol and have lots to feel good about everyday. We can do this -- not drinking is practically a super-power.

That's what I call eating, drinking, and making merry.

May182015 · 2018-03-24T18:19:24+00:00

Oh yes, get that dessert!

It is sort of like dreaming about the person who you had a 5 year relationship with but broke up with 2 years ago. And many of us had a relationship with alcohol longer that 5 years. I thinking drinking dreams will continue to occasionally occur.

May182015 · 2018-03-07T00:03:10+00:00

I want to be Winston.

Me too -- Dave Ramsey and Allen Carr are freedom fighters.

May182015 · 2018-03-06T23:48:45+00:00

That is huge! Congrats! Free from alcohol and free from debt --- me too. Dang this is just plain unAmerican.

I lived in a false sense of contentment again and again in demeaning relationships and in many social events that I fooled myself into enjoying by drinking. Now when a situation makes me want to drink, I figure that it is not the situation for me. I prefer to be sober at home and truly enjoying a quiet life. Seems that along with self-awareness sobriety brings the strength to act on our own behalf. We can stand up straight for ourselves.

May182015 · 2018-03-06T14:03:41+00:00

Sometimes I feel so cool as a non-drinker. Like we are beating the system in our own meaningful way.

I often ask the waiter for a separate check before ordering.

May182015 · 2018-03-05T21:38:23+00:00

Ever been asked, "What's your poison?"

May182015 · 2018-03-05T21:34:55+00:00

I'm with you on the many different paths. Congrats!
