When you're bored

Phase: Stronger Every Week
Today's talk · preview

Day 33. Let's talk about boredom.

Nobody warns you about this one. The cravings calm down, the crisis passes, and then one night you're just sitting there. Nothing to do. Nothing happening. And a little voice says, this is boring, a drink would make it better.

Here's the truth. Boredom is one of the sneakiest reasons people go back. Not stress. Not a party. Just an empty Saturday.
