Wow, Summer is almost over. In a way I am happy about that as Fall is my favorite season. This summer has been ok, I guess. I am still clean from bupe, benzos, etc. I still puff a little weed here and there and occasionally drink. Almost 5 months off everything. I have been doing NOTHING lately, big surprise. Truthfully I used to like doing nothing but in the past I was always partying and now that is gone or phased out I am left with a lot of boredom. I have been procrastinating doing everything going to the dentist, registering for school [which I finally did a few days ago]. I waited so long though that my class selection was selective but that’s ok. I was/still am completely lost or rather void of direction. School and all that stuff sometimes makes me get in a bad mood because I should have taken care of that yeaaars ago but I didn’t. Sometimes I debate if I should even bother to finish.
It seems like I have been struggling for so long. Kicking one drug/med or another in some kind of w/d or hit with a lingering depression. Sometimes it is just like wtf am I doing? It seemed like I was happier using and I tell myself that this will pass eventually. That it is only natural for me to be a little down. I am not doing too much to benefit myself. I have extremely low motivation, still. I really need to start excercise, ride my bike lift weights, get in the sun, get a job, wash my car, etc. Yet I dont do it. Instead I just wallow in oh poor me. I have always waited for everything to come to me and now that I am trying to change that it is hard.
Still no girlfriend mainly out of my own doing. I have a bunch of numbers that I have been given but truthfully I have no desire to call them. I suppose none of them has really perked my interest but in all actuality that is just an excuse for being lazy. I do have a few chicks that I can call or more often they call me when they/I feel like getting laid. I dont know. Sometimes I feel like just fleeing to the mountains and starting over somewhere else. As it seems rather hard to get going around here. Truthfully I do miss dope, drugs, partying but a lot of it is that lifestyle.
I guess I am just having a bad night/day/week? Things are pretty good and I should be thankful for all the opportunities I have instead I just feel like screaming at the top of my lungs FFUUUCCCCKKKKK! My sleep has been ok but it is starting to drive me crazy. I have been going to bed/falling asleep at around 4-5:30 am and getting up at 2:30 pm or so. I hate that. I am just stuck in a rut yet I don’t do anything to pull myself out of it. I suppose because it is not completely uncomfortable just lazy. Things are going to change I can feel it. I am going to take some ambien tonight and hopefully pull myself out of this. I have to drive up to school tomorrow and pay tuition, buy books, parking permit. Than I need to get a haircut, new clothes, new shoes, school supplies, and hopefully life ha. I might go see Sound Tribe Sector 9 [some late night show after they play at Aragon Ballroom Sat. night]
At times I wonder why I am not doing anything to better myself and pretty much my main excuse is well you just got clean you deserve to sit around and do what ever you want. If I feel like sitting like a bump on a long for weeks on end I do it. Yet I wonder why I am not happy?
Thanks for the comments I am still alive that is painfully obvious to me sometimes.
peace.

give someone an anxiety attack wondering about ya, why don’t you?! nah, it’s all good, i am happy that you are alive, even if you don’t always feel that way (happy, not alive, or i guess either one could fit, yeah?).
maybe i’ll write about it later on my own blog because it bears longer description, but i definitely relate to the feeling of sorta giving yourself permission to feel like … hey, i just got clean, i just got through these trials of one kind or another, now do i have to go push push push for more? but then you find yourself unhappy…. maybe i’m just thinking out loud on your blog …
well, keep writing when you feel like it, and btw, i LOVE the art you posted here so much that i checked out the artist’s site… really cool stuff, so thanks for sharing.

I have enjoyed many of your posts. I too have been in an epic battle against addiction. Nothing ever hooked me like narcotics. Meth, weed, xanax, alcohol, I was able to pull away until I found OC in 99. Subutex is my maintenance and has been for two years. Doctors, are theyhelping or helping kill me? Adds, Klons, etc… We seem to have alot in common. Good Luck
