Avoid temptation?

So today is technically my first day again. i gave in to one hydrocodone pill offered to me yesterday. i dont feel worse today i still feel better than yesterday morning as if it was my third day. Anyways My family member is the one i used to get pills from and other people in my house take them as well. I know he is coming this week and i dont want to give in again. i never want to go through with this again. i dont have any where else to go to get away from this. how has anyone dealt with this with their addiction? Meetings? in not too sure about that. i mean what can they actually do? Support? they are not beside me when temptation comes except maybe by phone. and i have alot of support from my fiance who has stuck by me for five years through everything. and family members (a lot of them) have gone through the same cycle of addiction who talk to me also. i just dont think its for me and besides i dont have transportation  and i cant walk very far before my foots kills me and i just feel like taking a painkiller.

I'm a painter and today was this first time I've done it since quitting. It was an amazing distraction. You should try drawing. Might help :)

Do you have hobbies?  I'm just now diving into what I love to do. Run?  I like to workout when craving or loud music. I also like to write when I'm craving  if not on her atleast in a journal  just a distraction.  I'm not sure about meetings, I'm going to my first on Tues. I hope you find something that works.
