Bad Habits to Feel Good?

I'm not going to make you all reveal your personal secrets here but what helps you get through the day?
Most of us have a mixture of healthy and not so healthy habits in our lives.
What you do when you are stressed, lonely, bored or frustrated? Maybe you ring a friend, or go for a walk, or watch a movie - no problems there -but what if your friend is not home, or it's raining, or maybe there aren't any good movies on.
When there isn't another adult around for company (which is often the case as a single parent) we often fill our lives with other things.

Some examples of less-than healthy ways people fill the gaps in their lives:
Overeating (or comfort eating)
Drinking/drugs
Shopping
Sleeping with random people
Dieting
Over-working
Obsessive cleaning
etc.

None of us are perfect that's for sure, we can probably all think of someone who has problem with each of these issues (if not ourselves). But I am not here to judge. I am just trying to make you think about your life and what is affecting you.
If you need help with any of these issues make sure you find it, it can be as simple as joining an anonymous forum online. Acknowledging the problem is a good start though.
Have a great week everyone xx
