    Addicted to going out
    Okay this relates to a poster before..! Im addicted to going out and being sociable, meeting new people and doing anything to have fun.
    This is my schedule
    Sunday through saturday-- wake up around 12, lounge around the house do a few chores to get some money then get ready then go out with whoever wants to.
    This is my schedule when I'm not working and I'm not working at the time so this is what my days consist of.

    I feel like I can slow things down on my own but I need that outside opinion for a 21yr old that ill listen to and actually follow, because my parents can tell me something and I just can't listen to it because my dads an addicted to and my moms lazy and stays home every day and sets on the couch so its hard for me to take them serious.

    Hopefully someone has some answers..!

    If you are not in school, you need to be working, or at least looking for work every day.

    Well I guess I left that out, I do look for a job on a daily basis, so I know once I find a Job it will be a lot easier for me to keep focused on other things besides my social life!

    Have you thought of volunteering at a hospital or community center? It would fill your time with meaningful activities, not just partying.

    You say that you look for a job on a daily basis. This is great to hear. But, until you find a job, you need to be actively doing something that is benefiting society... not just doing the opposite (but same) as your mother and partying. She is lazy all day and doesn't contribute to society; you sleep until noon, look for a job, and party - also not doing anything to benefit anyone else.

    Become invested in someone else's life. It will give your days meaning. :)

    That's actually a good idea. In your opinion, where would be the first place I could start something like that.

    Depends on your city.

    I'd look into Big Brothers/Big Sisters, YMCA, nursing homes, or a hospital.

    But start with BB/BS... you'll get to work with kids and enrich their lives.

    :D
