Up down up down up down. These mood arcs are killing me.

In a couple of hours, ill be driving a 6 hour drive in the rain. No CD player, spotty radio. Just me. Maybe I should bring a voice recorder to capture my thoughts.

I'm scared of what ill find in my own mind.

no iPod? cellphone doesn't play music? heck you can get a small cheapo FM radio from the dollar store for a buck. Thats what I'd probably do. Its good that you're thinking ahead even if your thoughts are making you anxious. Your mind can talk you into all kinds of things if you're not prepared. Good luck! Try to stay positive! Look forward to hearing you made it ok!

6 hour drive to where? I hope some place good.

Yeah, you need some driving music for sure, always makes the drive much better and fun. Hope it goes well Here.

aww...don't think too much...I'm sure your head is no scarier than anyone elses

if you can't find a way to have your own music, stick to the radio and just concentrate on the road...you'll be fine

who knows, maybe 6 hours of thinking may help you think and solve some problems you had bottled up, I always found when being alone in silence helped me find out who I really was. But I know no music and 6 hour drive means boring...good luck

I hope you are going someplace good too!! Do you have Pandora on your phone? You can pick music to suit whatever mood you are in, or want to be in.

Drive safe!

Sing!
Or yeah give yourself a good talking to theres no shame in it. Iron out how you feel about who, what, why and where you are in life....6hrs should just about do it I reckon.

Be careful HereIAm, Las Vegas can get dangerous for people like us. Be safe. :ghug3

I don't drink, so I'll be okay.

Take it from a Vegas repeat offender ... Just because it seems like a good idea at the time it's not. Trust me. I reckon most Vegas visitors never see the outside of the casinos and bars. At least that's my experience.

Be careful and know your addict voice is going to be screaming at you - yell back at it and fight for your sobriety. You are worth it!!! I wish you a sober, fun and happy trip!

Threw out the rest of my weed before I got on the freeway to Vegas. Alcohol Beat 1/16/13, Marijuana Beat 1/25/13.

All that's left now to beat is cigarettes, which usually went hand in hand with alcohol. Though I sure have been smoking a lot more since 1/16!!!

Delilah1

Hope you arrived safe and sound!

HereIAm321

Only halfway there :/

Coldfusion

I saw your post and thought, hooray! She's there!

I hope the rest of your trip goes well. Sounds like you'll arrive way after my bedtime...

HereIAm321

Dammit, all this time to myself, and what's the ONLY thing I can think about????

Sex.

How inopportune...

I used to drive a car with no sounds. Long drives too. Believe it or not I sang. What the hey. No one there to complain so I just sang loud and clear. Not loud and good.
My car never complained once.
