Going to work on a Farm

Yup, you read that right.
I'm doing this volunteer type of work thing in my country. Basically you work on a farm and they give you food and a place to sleep. I will work 8 hours 5 days a week. That's a huge contrast to what I have been doing the past 3 months. I was on summer break and had nothing to do. I'm now almost on Day 4 of Hardmode and I hope that being on this farm for 4 weeks will help me. Being busy 8 hours a day is important to overcome any addiction. Emptiness during my day has proven to be dangerous.

 

Thanks! It was my Dad's idea. One of his colleagues did the same thing a few years ago and she said it really helped her.
I will be going there for 2 weeks then to Germany to visit my Mom (haven't seen her in 5 months) then back there 2 weeks.

I'm actually on a waiting list for a Rehab. Because I have also a drug + alcohol addiction on the side. But luckily I'm 1 month clean now. My dad and I thought it was the best idea to go to that farm. It's going to be hard work, but I think that's what I need.

 

I'm doing it in Belgium. It's called WWWoof. Maybe your country does it too.

 

That sucks. Where are you from?

 

Yeah the lifestyle is totally different. These people eat so healthy. They are way more Zen than City people. It's been a great experience so far. And I go to bed tired each work night.
