I don't do any. Just meds. All I ever did before was drugs drugs drugs. I didn't go out with out drugs. I want to go out and have fun. Go to a bar or something, but I'm afraid of drugs. Some of my best times were on drugs. Going out to the clubs. I was fat for a while and fell out of all it. Now I'm thin again. But no freinds. and a fear of drugs. Just drink. The drugs were too much of a headack. Will I get busted, will I function. Enjoy it too much, ... Man all I can think of is drugs. why can't I go out and have fun with none. The other problem is my freinds were all into drugs and I don't hang out with them anymore.

Why do you want to go to bars? I have been obsessing about "the old days" but it will never be like it was... at least not for me anymore. If I do anything the guilt just ruins the buzz.
I have been making some new friends who don't use.
well, actually I only have one friend who doesn't, but it is a start. Life can get pretty dull, why don't you start a new hobby where you can meet some new people?
Easier said than done I know!!!!
I am going to a art class today and I will only know one person there. I know that an hour before the class I will probably want to back outand not go. I will go!!!!!!
How long have you been off drugs???
Scattered thoughts this morning/Sorry
Hang in there and have a good day.

Yoga, Vipassana meditation, and scuba diving.
Each offers you a hobby to help pass the hours, each will get you acquainted with new folks who might turn into friends, and each gets you high (although with scuba, you might need to dive relatively deep -- 100 feet or more below the surface of the water -- to get the delightful "nitrogen narcosis" high).

Go on the internet and post threads at doc bobs. I am some what in the same boat.Trying to find something to do with myself after using for years. I have hobbies. I always did them when I was high. I did stop doing most of them though over the last two years or so. I am getting back in the swing of things. I am attracted to "adrenaline rush" activities. paintball,diving,fishing,anything on the water.During the past few months Ive done more of these things then I have done in past two years. I always had drug friends then I had my other friends. Some used to be drug friends. Some know of my hx most non-drug friends dont. I am fortunate to have friends and people to do things with wife/family. I am having an epiphany as I write this. I dont think without the support that they give me (some dont even know the support they give me )I would be clean. Im rambling sorry . Like my Mom always said"A body in motion stays in motion". I too am a go to the bar/club type guy and I still do that .
