I got asked if i could suggest some things to do when you are on your own for a weekend. This can be good for those of you who are in treatment and get ‘time at home’ where you might be on your own. So here are some things you can do!! Note some of them are more active things, so depending on what stage you are in you might skip those suggestions 🙂
