Off the drink!
![Former Member](https://us.v-cdn.net/6030621/uploads/defaultavatar/nJHX7Z3NJVPO4.jpg)
Right I'm going off the drink for a while now.
Realising that I'm drinking too much, spending too much money and it's getting in the way of my study life and other aspects too. Mate also OD on coke at the weekend there, heart stopped 3 times...he's lucky to be alive. Just coming to the realisation that all this fucking about is a bit pointless and I'm going to try and sort my head out.
I know a lot of people are thinking, oh it's only drink you're a pussy or whatever but if you were in my shoes you'd know all about it. Thought I'd just share that with you guys.

good luck all the same and the worst influence is the sun .. as soon as that fucker starts shining you start thirsting for a freezing cold beer and a big fat spliff!

I know it's a cunt.
I've spent over £600 since april 23rd on drink ffs lol! It's not good and it is having a toll on me, physically and mentally. I could say that I'm gonna cut down on the amount I drink but it's not realistic, I'm the type of person that once I have a few in me then I need a lot. Ah it's a cunt, won't be drinking till some time mid-summerish. That's my aim.
fair play .. i did consider a month ban off the drink because i drink far too much but i dont think i could do it to be honest weekends wouldnt be the same bit bad really
good luck with it though
Fucking hell, how much had he done, if you don't mind me asking.
im sticking with tryin to only drink 2 nights a week.. one weeknight and one weekend night, to split the week up a bit .. seems ok so far, it doesn't help when you have all your mates ringing you tryin to get you out for a carryout either!
After being attacked for no good reason on Saturday night I'm not going to rough pubs again for a while (not that it was even that rough).
rather stand outside somewhere if its nice and sunny
and i find it impossible to not drink to get drunk, the only reason i drink is to get hammered, and after a few drinks you end up goin out of your way to try and get more .. if i done that id end up going home and gettin wired into my ma's wine! (its happened one time too many
However I did realise a few years ago that I do love drinking alchol but that I have to cut down so that I can continue to do it in the long run - if that makes sense - I didn't want to become so much of an alcholic that i couldn't ever drink again.
The mad thing is that its not event that i drink that much (normally a couple of glasses of wine with tea) its just that its every night - I've lots more friends who wont' drink at all during the week but then drink stupid ammounts in one night - every weekend.
Anyway i have nothing constructive to offer other than my solidarity!
where did you go? - just so I know to avoid it like!
Or, you could go out with a certain amount of cash, leave your card in the house, and you have to stick to your limit.
then you end up goin around lifting half empty pints :no:
I think that would all be very well in theory but then after a couple of drinks you'll only want more and just end up annoying all your friends whist you badger them to buy you drinks!
Only if you're a complete scumbag hobo at the best of times :razz:
Works for me whenever I do it. Then again, I'm the kind of person who hates mooching from people, nevermind asking.
sounds about right
Had a bad fucking buzz on acid at weekend. Thought I was going die and was convinced there was a conspiracy against me with every one I know.
End up out on street acting like a fucking lunatic. Got arrested and ended up in intensive care in hospital and toxicology.
Could end up in some bother but the police were actually sound when they took me down to the station yesterday after getting out of hospital.
Definitely not more acid, no more hallucinogenics, no more ketamine.
All a part of the life learning experience.
It'll all willpower. When you want a drink or something, just do something else to distract you, whatever it is.
But Jesus, all the regular nutters are toning it down.
Fair play, chaps.
haha noticed that myself, madness
wonder who can heck it and who cant
I'm still really upset about what happened and keep getting flashbacks :crying: So at the moment I don't feel like I ever want to go out again but I really don't want to become withdrawn. I have a 2manydjs thing in a couple of weeks and i'd like to be feeling up for going to that...but I'm not gona get wasted, just take it easy.
