IT,S JUST A ROOM; BUT IT'S MINE.HOPEFULLY HAVE AN APT. IN 2MONTHS. ANYWAY, SPENDING ALL THIS TIME ALONE,I'M STILL DRINKING. DON'T KNOW IF I'LL EVER STOP THAT ALL TOGETHER. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT???I'M TRYING TO VOLUNTEER AT THE S.P. C.A. ONE DAY A WEEK, AND I'M GONNA TRY TO GET A PART-TIME JOB.I JUST DON'T KNOW ABOUT BEING AROUND THESE STRAIGHT CITIZENS ALL DAY.

NEVER DID IT BEFORE!THIS FORUM REALLY HELPS. BECAUSE THE PEOPLE AROUND MY HOUSE DON'T UNDERSTAND A DAMN THING I'VE STOPPED TRYING TO EXPLAIN THINGS TO THEM , JUST MAKE SMALL Talk.well have a good week-end

Hey Foggy,

Good to hear that you have a room!! With the drinking - well my friend that is up to you - i worked in a D&A rehab for a few years and well when and if you are ready to stop you will - i do not preach abstinence or any of that shit i am more about harm minimisation - so just be safe about what you are doing and hey if you ever decide you fully want to stop well there is help out there - it isnt easy - but it can be done and you can do it.

I am sure you are aware of the health related side of drinking and i am not one to judge as i smoke n i am aware of the harms associated with that but still continue to do it :rolleyes:

You know we are all here to support you with whatever you choose to do Foggy and there are people out here who genuinely care and give a fxxk!!!:)

You take care and hope you had a nice week-end.

Foggy,

oh regarding the friends - i think people tend to push others away in fear of getting hurt or feeling we are undeserving of their friendships - but hey remember you do deserve to have friend in your life and you do deserve to be around good people - and i am sure that to have you in their life is a positive. thats what friends are for we take the good with the bad!!!

homeless or not foggy we all push people away, fear of getting hurt, if youve been hurt by friends b4 its nateral i guess. nothing wrong with small talk.lol.....good way to start friendships.
good luc getting a job, fingers crossed 4 u ..............sending loads of good luc vibes your way....
