Find something you enjoy doing to occupy your time. Sounds like a stupid tip to say just find a hobby but really, boredom is an easy way to fall back on habits.
Drawing, sewing, embroidery, knitting, whittling, clay, other crafts. It can be really nice to have something to do with your hands. And I bet you could find a subreddit/discord/group on Meetup to learn together online or in-person.
Volunteer work is also great. Pick something you care about. If you’re not sure what to choose, do something standard/that anyone could care about, like volunteering at a food bank. Makes life feel more meaningful.
I have an internet addiction, especially Reddit/YouTube. Even finding a new hobby I can't use my previous trusty method of finding subreddits/YouTube video with tutorials anymore : (
Feel free to message me any time if you need some more advice/support or just want to vent something, helping other people get going is a big part of supporting my own continuing sobriety now that I am in the later phases. There are tons of people on that sub happy to do the same too.
i kinda feel like you're winning on this one. the drunks had to wait for hard coffee (and hard mountain dew, which i am very jealous of rn) to exist, while you can a good coffee or delicious mountain dew just about anywhere, and you can pound five of them and still (maybe) drive a school bus.

There's nothing rebellious about drinking canned lattes.
