Roll Call 69

Do you play videogames or have any hobbies that can pass time in a fun way without drinking?

the only hobby ive been interested in lately is photography. ive lost interest in my drums for a few years now. i like to shop but thats probably the last thing i need to do. but i do like clothes shopping. sometimes i write or dance to music. i like vaping as a hobby because of all the cool gadgets you can buy for it.

i absolutely love social media and using it. like twitter, instagram, facebook (sometimes). usually twitter right now. because i just love the talking to people you know?

that would hurt my feelings too.

Can't get to sleep at all, duuurt!

Have you tried thrift stores like the salvation army and the like? As construction person, the last thing I need to do is pay $30 for a pair of pants that Ill ruin in a couple months. I just bought 3 pairs of pants for $20 bucks, name brand too, like Calvin Klien, Old Navy and Van Hueson.

Morning folks,

Today is a sad day, we've lost a true legend. David Bowie has passed away, apparently after battling cancer in secret for the past 18 months.

David Bowie - Starman

Yes, I'm very saddened. I have been a fan of his for decades.

A big loss , shocked , nobody knew

WOAH........jeez that was sudden, i thought with the new album out and all he must be doing ok! damn rip goblin king

That's sad news.

doing good this morning, decaf coffee (i like my sugar with coffee and cream-beastie boys) symtoms minimal, sorry to hear about bowie though.

So sad to hear about Bowie passing. RIP David Jones.

hello everyone.

I honestly think it's tough love & considering what you have said, I think it's not a completely unreasonable thing to say. Just said the wrong way.

I mean, obviously you aren't an alcoholic but your reasoning for drinking a lot these days is bad. Drinking or using drugs to escape your problems is a sure fire way to make yourself reach for them when things are bad. At first, it's just helping take your mind off things, then you can't cope with these things without drinking & then suddenly you need to drink all the time.

Trust me, I've been addicted to drugs. I know how it goes. It's not a given that it'll happen to you but it really can happen to anyone & the way you are going, I'd say you were at risk.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying a drink but you got to watch for it becoming a crutch.

I've got to be honest, before you said any of this... a few days ago or whatever you said you'd been drinking all day because you were lonely or bored or whatever. I was tempted to say something then but didn't want to sound harsh.

Just be careful with your drinking, ok? It can be a slippery slope & you probably won't realise you have a problem until it gets bad.

whats cracking with yourself today loial? are your voices still out performing themselves?

Thanks loial.

i just know im not an alcoholic. its a bad way of coping. i need another way to cope. i trusted this person to help me. not to bash me. actually the first question i asked her was "how do i live on my own" and then she went into saying how am an alcoholic and said something about my parents and how i need to get my act together with drinking. its only been 3 weeks.

Not much thank you kind sir!

Just back from a walk. Now the endless rain seems to have stopped, I've managed to get walks in the past 3 days. I am supposed to be starting looking for jobs again today, I say supposed because I seem to keep finding myself doing other things instead.

Yeah, voices are still coming up with imaginative things to say. Oh and now they are repeating what I am typing. On a positive note I guess it's more interesting to listen to than the same **** over and over.

And how is your good self this fine day?

Yeah, it does sound like she went off on one. It's disappointing she's not helping you with the things you most need help with.

Hopefully she won't be completely useless.

Morning guys. Hope your all well. Sorry about your helper calling you an alcoholic newtus, I kind of know how it feels because I got into a bad habit of drinking to try and block stuff out and my bf started treating me like I was an alcoholic. It's possible to stop it before it gets that far, I've stopped drinking now, because I realised it was a problem.
It's mine and my bfs 8 year anniversary next week. We're going to stay in an expensive quirky hotel. It looks so cool there's two layers to it and upstairs near the huge bed there's a massive bathtub with a skylight view to the stars. I've never been in an expensive hotel before so it's going to be so nice. My bf saved up the money for us to go without telling me, think it's lovely of him.
I've decided I need to look for a job. I can't be sitting around all day doing nothing for the rest of my life. I left uni and now I have no plan, which is okay, as long as I fill my time constructively. So I'm guna look for a little job to bring some money in and give me some structure to the week. It's a scary thought but sometimes you gotta leap in and do it.

Maybe you should start a new thread for us to keep track of your job hunt efforts :P

haha my internal voices repeat what i type, say and read pretty much endlessly. i end up re-reading and rehashing conversations because of it just to feel in sync with what they are doing. im beginning to think i have more ocd symptoms than i ever realized as some of this stuff seems to border on it.

im ok today. yestereday was the first practice that i've coached here in manchester and im not sore from it but my body is a bit tired. i also didnt sleep well last night so that wont have helped. i sure love that coaching though.

morning

i never heard of any david bowies songs. sorry...

Hi Justme! That sounds great about the hotel! and i agree about finding a little job, its better than sitting around all the time. any idea what you'll do?

That's great you are coaching again. I'm sure you'll adjust to it again in no time...

Good morning all.

I hope everyone has a good day!

Good morning. Sorry to hear about Bowie . Cancer is a *****. I'm working today and I've taken on a 2nd job but I'm not sure when that will start. I'm excited about it though. I hope everyone has a good day.
