Tool is a GREAT band!

Past self meds – Food, alcohol, sex/affairs, drugs, internet

Current – Internet, video games.

When not on meds – Sleep and alcohol

Food was my way of dealing with that constant itch too. Cant stand being bored! Gosh why couldnt I get addicted to something like yard work? Or housework? Or exercise? hahahahaha I dont know if you would call them addictions though… More like phases. Food was always there. Became a teen, got drunk all the time. Got a boyfriend, had sex all the time. Got pregnant, got into cybersex/porn, which then lead into affairs. That was a huge mess. Got out of that… Got into drugs. Not hard core. Just wanted to try everything and anything that came my way. Though I made up my mind a long time ago I would never do cocaine, heroin, meth, crack. Did a bunch of other drugs though. Stopped that. Was sucked into World of Warcraft… Done that… Now back to good ol’internet and video games!

I should really get a hobby. Maybe now on meds I can stick to it and finish things! hahahaha
