Got just the thing to get you over the bump. What I find really helpful to have a real fun relaxed stress and anxiety free day is to drink a few beers during the day. Have a few good beers in the morning, then if you go out, take a hip flask of whiskey with you and have a few good swigs during the day. After a super start to the day get stuck into the booze in the late afternoon. It really gives you a good night’s sleep and when you wake up feeling a bit fuzzy the next morning a few good swigs will set you up for another good stress free day. I’m having a ball and doing really well with my studies at University. I have a great part time job at a local book store and the management have no idea I’m half pissed all the time, I got employee of the month for the last two months and I am leading part time sales by heaps this month. It certainly makes the time go quick and adds a lot of fun to the day. Highly recommended.

Take advantage that you are going to a counselor, I understand why you lie to them but if you tell them the truth you will feel like you have lifted a weight off your shoulders. You might be eating a lot right now but at least you had the will power to get off the drugs and the ciggs. I almost fell into a drug addiction but I did have someone to help me control this. Just stay strong, you are young and have your life ahead of you. Think positive and look at these experiences as learning experiences that make you who you are. Good luck and have faith in yourself.
