The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. ~Ellen Parr

Sometimes we find ourselves bored with recovery. We go to the same meetings and hear the same people say the same things. We may consider not going to meetings at all because we could be doing something else. This is a time when we need to make some changes. We can go to different meetings, get involved in service work, or find a really sick newcomer and sponsor them. Finding out how the Fellowship is organized is also a good way to fight boredom in recovery. Starting a new meeting, or taking meetings into rehabs and institutions are also ways to get excited again. The message is: Get out of self. We need to look around and see where we can give back. It doesn't even need to be in the rooms of recovery. We can get involved in our own communities, which could lead us in completely new directions. Before we know it, we will wonder how we ever could have said we were “bored.”

Today, I look for ways to become

curious about my recovery.

Having institution commitments is a godsend, especially when I've been feeling a little down.
