How to Stop Myself From Procrastinating.?

Question by jason mclug: How to stop myself from procrastinating.?
Hey there. I am a 14 year old black boy. So yea, i have this HUGE addiction to my computer because of my games there, my long distance relationship with my girlfriend, and my best 2 friends (also long distanced). I usually tell myself in my mind “There’s enough time to do my projects and homework” and before i know it, it’s bedtime. My grades are slightly slipping and my mother is really unhappy about that, especially myself. Please, i need help to stop my addiction. Thanks in advance 🙂

Refilling Darvocet Early?

Question by Kiki R: Refilling Darvocet Early?
My doctor wrote me a 30 day prescription for darvocet for my severe fibromyalgia pain. 3 a day basically. I had a particularly bad flare up and had to take 1 and a 1/2 about 4-5 times a day to just get through it (I know, I should have called and asked, but I’d been told by this doctor before that I could do that). I’m about out, and I called to ask the pharmacy when I could get it filled, and she said no earlier than Nov. 21, which is exactly 30 days after I had it filled. But I’ve gotten my refill a week or so early before on other occasions. I talked to my doctor, and he doesn’t want to refill it early, and wants to try physical therapy instead. But, I’m in a lot of pain, and while I can handle it now, I don’t know if I can take it for two more weeks. And I can’t really afford physical therapy.
