I used to sit on the from porch with my cold can of beer and cigarettes, and it was fun. Buy now, I have quit drinking and smoking, and I feel like I am waiting on something fun to happen, but it hasn't.

Replace the negative behavior with a positive. Find a positive habit, like widdling, drawing, painting, reading, listening to music, writing in a journal, eating carrots or other vegis, exercise put a stationary bike on your porch. Or lift weights, call a friend and talk on the phone on your porch, go for a walk, write a letter to someone. The list goes on and on Good luck

I also gave up drinking, and it can be so boring.. It is really all about finding new activities to do that you enjoy. I bet it will take a few tries before you find something you like. If you chose to do something High energy you would also get some pep from your activity that can be a new *high*. I personally got a dog, that way I had to take it out for walks and I didnt have to sit home alone all day *i was unemployed*.... It was really helpful!
Good luck.,
The link has alot of activities to chose from. Just pick and go!

There is a world of things to do. If you sit there and wait for something to happen, you will always be bored. Go to a bookstore, read a book. See a show, go to a sporting event. Do something.
The best thing to do is to learn something. Learn to fly an airplane or speak German.
The world will not drop by to amuse you.

First of all... good for you, that takes a lot of strength for someone to quit both of those things.
There's more out there in the world though. Do things with friends.... Find a hobby that you've been "kind of" interested in and persue that to see if you really like it. Come up with odd jobs to work on and things like that. You'll find something!!

it's good that you've broken a bad habit, or two, now all you have to do is find a hobby. There's lots to choose from in the world.

Listen to music or watch TV. Those things can be fun too.

Get a lot of exercise, it is hard to be bored when your sore and tired.
