Keeping myself busy is a must for me. Too much time to think can get me into trouble. Distraction is one of my useful tools.

i started working lat a pharmacy as a pharmacy technician. i had started a pharmacy technician program before my son's death. he was so proud of me for going, as i hadnt been happy with the job i was in for about 4 years. i was not going to finish the program, but my girlfriend helped me with tests, homework to get thru it. Troy was proud of me that I was going to the school.
I got a part time job as a tech, and it takes my mind off of things for awhile as the day goes by quickly
