I used to live close to a coffee shop that allowed people to smoke on their patio. When I walked down to the coffee shop I would bring a book and a few small cigars. I found th... |

| I found that I had to just try a few out. Many Therapists offer a free 20-30 min session to see if things work before going further. Maybe, if you have a friend that is attending therapy you could ask him/her who they visit. You could ask your friend to ask their mental health professional for a ref... |

I have briefly worked retail before but I heard Costco pays a living wage and workers there can make about 30 dollars per hour or so. I dont know what I would do there but I am thinking about working... |
