WEAK AND POWERLESS

Don’t let me bore you with these blogs. It seems that every second entry is about my addictions, particularly vaping. If anyone came across my last post, you were told by this idiot that I was quitting vapes and alcohol. Alcohol won’t be a difficult task. I can do the whole sobriety thing. I can knock that one out of the park. I stated that I was finally over using a vape and at the time I was certain that this wouldn’t be a problem. It wasn’t going to be easy, but it was more than achievable with a little self-control and willpower. I had the best intentions going into this adventure, convinced I could do it, but I failed in less than twelve hours. I’m a vape addict, plain and simple!

I have my groceries delivered to my door from Coles. This is because I like the luxury of not leaving the house — shopping always stresses me out and I usually don’t take a list, so I often end up needing a second visit. Doing it online ensures nothing is forgotten and saves me time and hassle. I don’t like driving, especially when I don’t know where I’m going. The reason I bring this up is because I am also terrible with directions and I’m living in a new suburb. I’ve been here for a few weeks now and I still don’t know where I’m going, or even where I’m located on a map. Today I took the bold decision to find my way to the tobacconist. I was disappointed with myself for relapsing on vapes, but also proud I managed to find my location (with a few mistakes along the way). In the end I got there and back safely. I would NEVER do this with the groceries, but I got my arse into gear when it came to my addiction. I probably would have driven into the city if I didn’t have an outlet close by.

Dave fails again… story of my life.
