I'm in my late 20's. but so much negative has happened in my life that I don't enjoy much anymore, I don't have money to go out, and I've just started rehab trying to overcome addiction. what should I do?
Answer:I am sure your anger,saddness and bitterness stems around your addition. Your doing the right thing by going into rehab. What you have to do know is focus on your addiction. Listen to what people have to say.Try it their way awhile. I bet alot of that saddness and anger will slowly fade away bringing alot of good emotions behind it.God Bless you on your journey to recovery.
u need to go to ur doctor to see about being put on depression medicine to boost ur self esteem
I can relate to this except for the rehab part. I can't honestly answer this but maybe we should get together and think of something positive to do that is G-rated.
You don't need money to have a good time. My husband and I live on a budget. We have learned to have fun by taking a hike, going for walks, bike rides, etc. which is calming to your nerves. Your mental attitude will be the captain of your destiny. Think about grouchy people around you. Are they inviting? Do you want to approach them? Do they make you feel irritated? How do you think people feel when they are around you? Does the way you behave impact that? Stay strong on overcoming the addiction. Embrace the support that is offered to you. Be patient starting over. You may have to work hard to earn some trust and gain some opportunities. But remember, you control what happens to you. Nobody else.
The very best advise that anyone could give you is ask Jesus to help you and he will only if you have faith in him. Trust him and ask him for forgiveness. Then by doing those things, all things are possible.
You need a hobby. How about drinking?
You're not, nor will be, the only person in this boat. Rehab is a wholly complex and confusing time. Please try to give it a chance. I hope you've got a knowledgeable and compassionate therapist working with you.
