Anyone have ideas for beating chronic boredom in recovery? Can be illegal or life threatening just no drinking or drugs.
First thing first: I don't recommend you do anything illegal or life threatening. It's not worth being locked up or in a hospital.
You may have to try a few different things to figure out what you like.
We also have listings of virtual events. Have you checked them out?
Knitting is always a productive way to occupy your hands. Go to museums. Go fishing. Learn to cook. Take up an instrument.
“Chronic boredom” you are speaking my language, Tommy! I’ve picked up just about every (legal 
) hobby/passion project I could get my hands on since I got sober. What did you like doing for fun as a kid?

You were doing the right thing by reaching out and asking questions! Try calling somebody else and asking them how they are and then just listening without telling them about you listen to somebody else talk about themselves and just be there for them
