What to do when bored at home instead of drinking?

Tried to google it and its all gay chit, brb knit, brb volunteer, brb do laundry.
Drinking brings some sort of pleasure that really nothing else does, would love to know if there's a healthier way to replicate the feeling

Alpha Post right there.

If you feel bored at home your dopamine levels are crap.

You need to buy a portable sauna and use it 3 times a week. It saved my life from drugs and street whores.

Go out for a walk.

Go chop wood.

Go do anything but alchohol, fap or porn.

again gay chit. I'm not trying to do busy work, just trying to find something that relaxes me like drinking does, but without the calories and disruption to protein synthesis.

Drinking is an artificial solution to a problem.

If you need to relax try meditation or yoga. Or do something that requires you to think a lot - like chess or the Japanese game of go.

Weed makes you lazy and demotivated and can turn you psychotic, but it's zero calories unless you get the munchies.

I have a Mac book, good midi keyboard and good monitors. So when I'm bored I lock myself in my home studio and fuk around on GarageBand making beats or putting drums over some riffs my buddy sends me.

Coffee and video games. I lost my full time job and have a part time job. I’m able to pick up shifts so I do a night shift and a day **** bit I have tons of time. I’m trying to stay away from alcohol. Gives me crazy anxiety when I come off of it. Disappointed that I drank on new years and felt like death yesterday

Only thing I've ever really found to work besides other substances (see weed and opiates) is staying busy with other things that give me an endorphin rush. For me that is basketball leagues and golf. Find the 3+ days a week I have those things going on after work hours, much easier to stay sober.


Trying to get into video games as another option without having to leave house, but not working so far.

Yeah the gym helps, was motivated playing semi pro or jc football, I try to play video games but still get bored. what gets my dik hard metaphorically, is being better than my peers/coworkers, and right now they suck.

Then be better at being absolutely shredded. Def can get an endorphin rush from being better than peers physically. A much slower burn and takes the ability to delay gratification l, when pouring a strong one delivers that instant rush and warming feeling.
