My journey
I know, I know, I know I shouldn't be this sad but my sister just told me she wants to move in with her boyfriend after our lease runs out - which is fine - of course she does...But I have to move back with my parents because I don't really have anywhere else to go...which is 5 HOURS away, I'll never see her Why doesn't she want to stay with me. I know I can be a total handful at times - but she's my best friend. I feel so lonely again. This is how I felt when I first quit drugs - alone - no-one understands me and I don't have time for anyone. I LOVE living with her - I don't want things to go back the way they were - now I'm going to be all alone again.

Hi! Dreamz,
Sorry to hear about your sister moving out. Unfortunately, life throws changes at us and the ones close to us move on, move in with boyfriends or get married etc.. I know your super close to her and it will hurt but remember things always have a way of working out. I used to live with my sister too and it was hard when we seperated but were just as close now as we were then. I would say closer and we live 2 hours apart. When does your lease run out? Maybe you could find another roomate if you want to stay in that area.
I am sending a big hug your way.

It runs out in December - xmas eve!!!
I could find another room - mate. I know I could move in with them. But I've lived with friends before and it has always turned out badly for me. I know I'm being selfish but I just want to live with her and only her - Her boyfriend stays around all the time anyway - he practically lives there now.
I just really like this new life I'm living. I don't want it to stop and I have a feeling everything is going to go back to the way it was and I was enjoying having new friends - I just hate being by myself!

Oh wah wah wah listen to me. That was the old me.
I am the new me!!!
I got some great advice about my life and trying to be positive rahter than dwelling on the sad stuff and I'm really going to try and stick to it.
I don't cope with change well - I guess that has something to do with it too.
Sure I'm sad I will probably have to leave my sister - but I can't live in the present forever - there's a whole future waiting for me.
I'm sad - I'm not saying that Im not - but I guess its all a part of life. I wonder what I'll learn from this - I wonder what the challenges and rewards will be like.
I'm trying to be positive, and I WILL be positive.
PS I am still jogging everynight - very good for mood swings and chill out time to think and clear my head. Its amazing because it feels like just you and the road - I tune out the cars flying past, the noises, the people - I feel like I'm all alone and its great to have that time!!!

Good day today - it is only morning but I feel good. Didn't go for a jog last night. Was having cravings - a bit this morning too. Cravings are so tiring, has anyone ever noticed that after a craving (well for me and for meth) I am just so exhausted afterwards, I need to rest my body and my brain.
I guess it doesn't help that I'm a bit sick today. I have really bad asthma and when I get throat infections it just makes my asthma extremely bad - so I'm going to can the jogging for a bit - see how I feel later on tongiht though I guess

Hey hey hey
Just wanted to say good on the jogging.
Also wanted to ask are you seeing a therapist or anyone? Might help you if you can get access and are willing.
The only definite in life is change. Once you accept change then it gets way easier to deal. Last fall I moved 400 km after getting rid of most of my stuff and going into a city with no job. I felt very strong at the time that I had too. And man oh man that was the best decision!!! Faith is an amazing thing. I found a great job within two days of being here and amazing apartment a few months later.
Things have a way of working out.

I'm still sick - not sure if I'm getting worse or better - probably about the same.
Not down or depressed and surprisingly I feel less like meth than I have in ages!
Funny because you would think I would want it more now cause I'm so sick but hey - not going to question it - just glad I'm like this!!!

Thanks Lani - good to here from you. Welcome to my thread!!!
Was really sick yesterday - went to hospital - better now but was running a really high fever - verging on a bit delirious (sp?)
This is my last day at work today - I feel a bit sad, kinda empty because I expected more - but this is one of lifes lessons - I am stronger for it!!!
Haven't found another job yet - have registered with some recruitment agencies who seem to think I look good on paper and in person and they are confident that I will find a job very soon!!!!

Still looking for a job - have had alot of meth dreams lately - waking up feeling pretty sad because I don't have any but today I'm actually feeling much better. Like I don't think about it and when I do I don't even want it!
Still job hunting but feeling good about that too!!!

Glad to hear from you Dreamz. I was wondering how you were doing. Keep your chin up and if you need any advice on job searching just write o.k. I am sure with your experience and great personality you will find something soon. Hang in there.

thanks Lani.
I think I'm starting to worry a bit...not really worry. I just know I should really get started if I want a job. I've noticed that I'm about to run out of money - after the next two weeks rent I'm pretty much cleaned out.
But I'm still in a good mood. I'm staying positive!!!

Yeah I hope it does fall into place.
I just avoided a major relapse. I almost met up with my partner in crime - we were junkies together.
I should feel good, But I feel like crap.
I'm going to bed I think - no sun today - miserable day!!!
