friday night blues

[carr]

Well gang, here we sit at home on another friday night....keeping each other company but probably wishing we were somewhere else....I so want to go out...do something....but what? I would love to go dancing but then I would have to drink....then the drinking would lead to using....because it always does for me....is it safe to go anywhere? and if there is, is there anywhere free? because I dont really need to have any money as that leads to using too..for me at least it does...i heard a song on the radio today...voodoo by godsmack and giggled because thats a song that my "dope friends" would sing on the way to the dope mans house...."feel the snake bite into my veins"...very important line there and " i dont know why i came"....but in the back of our feeble addicted minds....we knew...but hearing that song...i was ready to go score..and all this while i was on my way back from drug testing.....funny eh? the pull of the demon is strong right now...just wanted to write a bit and get it out of my head....thanks for reading.....take care and stay strong...

Yeah, the weekends were a huge problem for me at first!  For the last 10 years, I was going out every weekend, and every weekday for that matter.  So even when I had 3 and four months clean, I was literally rolling around on my bed whinng because I was so bored I didn't know what to do with myself.  Now it has been a little more than five months for me and I have become a huge fan of movies and TV shows.  In fact, thats what I look forward toall day at work, watching my shows that are on that night.  Tonight is Saturday and today I went and bought new photo albums and I am going to organize all my pictures in them and I am so excited to do it.  I know, seems really pathetic but I am glad to be a nerd now.  You should give yourself a little time and eventually you will find new things that entertain you.  If you look back to before you started using, you could have fun without putting anything into your body.  There is no reason for you not to have that again.  I promise...

i've enjoyed your recent posts...especially the one about other forum sites - and yes, I did have to go check them out some....all that I will say now is that I am glad that i'm just a druggie!!!  But oooooohhhboooy     was it good for a chuckle.  You stay strong and keep recognizing those triggers that can blindside you.........I'm glad that you got a giggle out of Voodoo and also resisted that urge...

My husband plays the bass in a blues band, here in the twin cities and tonight they have a really good gig at a huge old time blues bar in minneapolis. Its cold here and i  l it some cancles and am staying warm inside. I'm not a drinker so I don't want to be at the bar till closing time And, after a while the novelty.wears off.  So, I'm in for the night.

The weekends are a trigger for a lot of people. It is a matter of changing your behavior and it takes a lot of work. If Friday night is a trigger, then make Thursday night Friday night...and so on until none of the nights are triggers.

Make fun at home, Find a hobby. Watch a movie. Whatever you do..stop dwelling on it and if music makes you want to use? Don't listen to it. Sometimes it is just that simple. Do whatever it takes...just don't use.
