Scarpe, i know where you're coming from. I have completely humiliated and hurt people i love in the past and am now paying the price. Being sober is great

Don't you find it boring and frustrating?
I know when I'm sober I'm constantly bored by the tediousness of my life and job and always overthinking things to the point of absurdity.

Bordeom is probably my biggest risk, yes.
I realise that wasn't directed at me, but I am aware of the risks of bordeom, so I started drawing again, I read a lot more, I am listening to new music for the first time in about 15 years, I go for long walks with my camera and I see the friends that didn't like me drinking and are happy to be with me when I am not. (and, conversely, realising I am better off without the ones that only ever wanted to meet me in a pub)

I also spend a lot more time posting on pointless, crude, yet endearingly witty message boards, it seems.

It was directed at anyone who makes sense.
I am in the process of turning my life around, but the boredom is the hardest thing. I love to read, so do that also -- but the warm fuzziness will be hard to do without.
I find I post on pointless, crude, attention-seeking, but entertaining, message boards either way -- but I'm less of a dick when I'm sober.
