Dallas Bragg argues that what people call boredom after leaving parties or meth use isn't boredom at all, but fear of recovery's challenges and fear of becoming ordinary. He says boredom signals you're not ready to change, and that you need a compelling vision of your future self to move forward.
But life after the party scene is boring, right? What if I told you there's no such thing as boredom? If you feel bored, it means you haven't latched onto a future version of yourself to challenge you on a daily basis. If you don't have enough vision to carry you out of the identity of someone who uses meth, then boredom will come. Boredom comes from fear. Fear of the challenge that recovery brings. Fear of losing your Tina life. Fear of becoming vanilla and normal. You're not bored, you're just not ready.
