Living Sober

OP 13/09/2010 · 07:31 AM #1

Is it just me or is it terribly boring??

I wake up, brush my teeth, work out, shower, eat, do my laundry, homework, play some games, listen to some music... then what... I do everything I`m suppose to be doing, then relax with a little entertainment for a bit and before long I am bored beyond belief. Anyone feel like there should be something more?

Everything I use to consider "fun" got me into trouble and made me someone I didn`t want to be. So now I try to stay away from that sort of thing, but there is a void that I have yet to fill. Everything seems to cost a lot of money or get me in a lot of trouble.

Islander... yeah that isn`t necessarily the exact order... just the list of activities I try to do in the day... I do try to eat and let my stomach settle before I work out or else I don`t have much strength or stamina... and this isn`t every day it`s just my usual day... and yes the random aspect is the one I`m missing I due believe that is correct.

And yeah I hang out with friends but I only have a couple true friends and they live nowhere near me, a couple hours a way so I only see them once in a while.

Arch... yeah I have had too many friends badly injured for life from things like bicycles and skateboards... I do like thrill but try to be safe about it if that makes any sense at all.

a lot of things can be cheap or free if you know how :P

eg, piano is expensive. but you can jus get a much much cheaper computer musical keyboard which you can jus plug to your computer and play the piano. i know it feel different, but it;s the next best thing.

as for racing, the cheapest alternative i can think of is bicycles. You can race on bicycles. I know you love thrill and excitement. then go and learn performing stunt on bicycles.. though only yourself know if you body is agile enough to do that :P

The best advice I can give has been said, change up your routine, and the best way to do it is finding your passions. Life is much more interesting when you don`t know what each day is going to bring for sure.

Reading your daily schedule just sounds terrible.
Firstly working out after not eating for as many hours as you`ve slept is a terrible idea :P Supposed to do it 1-2 hours after eating.,

And then there`s nothing really random in there. I see no time spent for chilling with people :P Or pursuing any hobby but games.

Not everyone enjoys playing an instrument but for anyone who loves to listen to music it`s often quite an experience to try it from the other side - creating it =D
Personally before you buy anything if you have friends or know people who have instruments try each one a bit - could save you money.
If you lack that make friends with the people in the local music store :P

As for cheap things, as free said hiking is pretty cheap. Along nature lines kayaking is incredibly fun and peaceful, though depending on the area not always cheap :P

You could also buy a Yo-Yo. Endless hours of fun if your creative enough :P

Alternatively you can blink wildly and then close your eyes really tight for an interesting light show...

Im out of idea.s

Yeah good advice Uber and Free... I guess it`s just that a healthy routine is what got me sober and balanced, so I felt comforted by the routine, but it gets stale and I think it`s time to start venturing outside of said routine... I need to find some activities to mix things up, but just a little, or I may spiral into a chaotic madness such as before... I just replaced the engine in my motorcycle, that has been out of commission for two years, once I get a couple parts I ordered I will be able to go riding, which is a great release for me and should help a lot.

Slavyzz believe it or not... not all life`s solutions can be found in a game, no matter how grand it may be =P

HoneyBucket i agree with UberPansy, breaking routine at least one day per week is good, preferably twice per week. I mean that could be do anything, but ya staying out of trouble and off the drugs is a good idea. im not sure how many crack heads are left in GC now in days lol.

But one thing to do is look into local town events, personally i like visiting parks, traveling, rivers, lakes, reading, well i hate running or jogging i do love working out. Weight lifting i dont count as working out, if you not sweeting like a pig your not working out. Just think of things you like, that you dont do and find ways to start doing them. Example i didnt camp/hike much until the last 2 years.

Maybe you need to break out of your routine, there are some things that it`s good to do everyday but if all your days are the same it can get to you. Not too profound, but I think it helps to shake things up, the ideas others suggested can all help you achieve that.

wow cold turkey is rough... i went the pansy route and am using nicotine patches... I`ve quit several times and the only times it has lasted any length have been with the use of patches... with the patches the only time it`s really rough is when I`m drinking, I really really want to smoke when I drink... so I have been trying to lay off the booze to make things easier.

I don`t own any instruments, I have considered picking up a cheap guitar to mess around with the next time I have a few extra bucks.

i taught myself piano, drums and guitar. piano is by far my favourite! unfortunatly, a lot of people aren`t as lucky as myself in actually owning a piano :/

i keep pretty busy. i am at college 5 days a week (that`s college in england which is age 16-18, after high school, before university) studying, and then i work around 18 hours a week at weekends and nights so i usually have something to do.

yeah giving up smoking was not easy. i didn`t use anything to help, i just went cold turkey. the first couple of weeks sucked but then it got easier! well done on giving up too, HB ( :

yeah that`s what I am hoping and keep telling myself... =P

I have other hobbies, I use to race cars, but that`s terribly expensive, even go kart racing is expensive... I guess I need to find something that`s very cheap or free that I can do often and really enjoy... that or maybe become very wealthy so that I can indulge in any hobby I desire.

jus go and learn something... anything you like.. instruments if you like music. computer programming if you love logic. sports if you love the sweats. chess/strategy board game if you love winning.

jus follow your heart on what interest you.
