^^I just have have to much free time right now and school hasn't really changed that at all because I finish all my classes by 10am or noon depending on the day, and no class on friday, saturday, sunday. I've been going to meetings everyday and working out everyday bit still feel like I have 4-5 hours at least with nothing to do and I don't enjoy video games or netflixing anymore.
Maybe it will even out once I start to get more homework this coming week. Time will tell.
It's funny, when I was using I would bitch and procrastinate things like going to the grocery store for 30 minutes because it took too much time out of sitting on the couch doing nothing. Now sitting doing nothing is the bane of my existence haha.
Good luck. Nsa n maya had some good ideas. And as you say once you get a car it will be easier for you. Finding experience at your uni also sounds an ace idea especially if it's in line with your course / what you'd like to do for a career/job.
My schedule in the following months will be hella crazy!! Work then night school on top of it then workout sessions weekends might not even be free anymore so if there is anything I am dying for right now it is free time! But then again I easily get bored so I like the busy schedule, keeps you away from temptations for the most part.
I think you're right it's so easy to be tempted when you have spare time on your hands. I'm not just talk drugs/alcohol either. I'm talking food. I have these Herbalife snack bars which are meant for weight management/ loss n I've been eating 5-6 per day. Once I've finished my childhood obesity assignment (I'm a distance learner so do it at home but go to uni for 3 days per module) I'll be making sure I'm out of the house a lot more.
I didn't know you during your addiction but by the sounds of things you've really turned things around with a good job n workouts you should be really proud of yourself (sorry, hope that doesn't sound patronising).
i'm so sick of being stuck in bed all day from pain the meds barely help at all
Sorry to hear that you're in so much pain. Have you told the dOctor that your meds aint working? Do you still have the infection? Would you be able to see a chiropractor/osteopath about your back? They sometimes can help but if you still have the infection I'm not sure best ask your doctor. Are they still considering surgery or is that a last resort? I know that here in the UK the won't do back surgery until every avenue has been exercised especially with disk herniation.
Hows your son (mrflowers) doing? Haven't seen him posting in awhile hope he's doing ok.
Hope I've done this? I clicked multi quote so lets see lol
