Hello,
my name is Jacques* and I am addicted to climbing.
It started with a "friend" asking me if I wanted shot a climbing with him about a year ago. We went to one of the places where people do it, they call it a "crag". I attached a rope to myself and hit the rock. I became addicted.
Since then I have been getting shots of rock every weekend and I use a subsitute known as "plastic" during the week. I have a normal life the rest of the time and most people I study/work with don't know about my problem with rock.
Everything was fine when I could get my dose. But right now, I cannot climb because of a small overdose (called "rupture of the medial collateral ligament" in the users' lingo). I can't even get shots of plastic, so I resort to a very decadent "finger bored" to stay out of trouble. I even find myself looking at climbing websites for hours. I think about rock all the time, I can't study anymore.
How do you manage your addiction when you're injured?
How can I keep studying effectively and stop thinking about rock 24/7?
