Evening time is a challenging time for some of us in recovery. Throughout the day, it might be easier as some of us are kept busy with jobs and the hustle and bustle of life, but as evening approaches, when all has been done, we are hit by pangs of boredom and loneliness. Here are some things you can do to help you through; 1. Get humble enough to let God know that this is a tricky time for you and ask Him to intervene, to blanket you with His peace. 2. ⁠Plan out your boredom. We know how to plan for our busy time, but we rarely plan how we spend our boredom. This could be spent watching a movie or doing something that doesn’t have to be that serious but engaging. Whatever it is, you can still plan for it. 3. ⁠Call someone and let them know how you feel. Man to man and woman to woman is advisable, otherwise codependency may be given a chance in early recovery. 4. ⁠Enjoy solitude by spending time with yourself. You can catch up with yourself. Now this is from a perspective of someone who is single and living alone in recovery. So all these suggestions might not apply to someone who has a family to go back to and feels the need to escape. The first suggestion fits for all cases and when done genuinely, I’m certain that other appropriate steps or moves one can make will unfold themselves.
