I don't NEED to take drugs when I'm...

Prompted by Grace's comment in the legal highs thread about feeling less inclined to take drugs when in a less nothing-y place. I wonder what goes on in this place...
So, for the purpose of sharing and inspiring each other:
What good activities that are fun and interesting do you feel take away a need to take drugs? (When you're taking drugs as habit or just for the sake of it, rather than as a positive life choice).
And to provide even more balance:
What do you see as 'good drug taking choices' and 'bad drug' taking choices? Would be good to get a list going.

Skiing really fast. The adrenaline combined with high speed and fresh air gives an amazing high.
Actually - a really good rowing outing on a fresh day used to do the same as well.
Like Niamh i could quite happily be high all day and all night doing anything.
Everything's so much better on drugs. School especially. In all the exams I was on drugs I did really well...
Everything is far more amazing when high.
Like the other night on bubble, 7 hours of crazy sex :')
All I wanna do is go and get high,
‘Cos shit round these ends ain’t so fly
Nothin’ to do out on the streets
Except avoid Bobbies on the beat
The youth of today we ain’t so bad
We just don’t look up to mum and dad
They don’t know what livin’s like
When every day comes a new fight
School keeps us busy till 3.15
But after that the streets ain’t clean
We go knockin’ from door to door
Until we find somewhere to score
And we ain’t fussy ‘bout what we take
It’s cut with glass make no mistake
The drugs we get they make us ill
But hospitals a bit of a thrill
Out on the streets it’s cold at night
But hospital is warm and nice
Drugs delivered to your bed
By friends who bun up more weed than Ted
There’s no hope for all our futures
We’ll always be dirty drug users
Time to wake up and face the facts
Some of us gonna end up on smack
Now I’m not saying it’s a decent path
Life ain’t perfect but we live like that
The youth of today we ain’t so privileged
Shut down shops that are closed-for-business
Failing schools and older teachers
And what’s with all these Academies
Less regulation about education
No chance in hell that we’ll achieve
Nothing to do around my area
Sniff some kat to make it bearable
Little bit of ket to take the edge off
Bun up some weed and that’s the end of
Our chance at gaining any good grades
We’ll grow up and have kids
With no decent wage
The whole fucked cycle starts again
Governments they cut the funding
For the youth clubs and young offenders
But they put more money in
To prosecution and punishing
There’s no chance we’re gonna act right
When there’s nothin’ to do but drugs and fight
For once prime minister hear our cries
Change our towns and change our lives!
I personally don't really take drugs at all anymore, mostly because I have mental health problems and feel the effects and after-affects very strongly!
it is something that was very difficult to replace ( especially in the beginning ) for me personally;
good live music (live bands as opposed to DJs - that makes me want drugs)
doing something completely new and out of my comfort zone e.g I did a Samba class that almost killed me but it was very fun!
second what scary monster said - skiing is a great one! I imagine other extreme type sports too
Awesome poem B_A - you should record it as audio
Have you heard of these guys?
Brighton and Hove Right Here
They look really good thanks Helen
Video it next time, that stuff is just the thing that gets me off.
If you can't enjoy anything without being high then you do need them....
Just sayin
At no point did I say I can't enjoy anything sober. I do enjoy things sober. I just enjoy being on drugs too.
just the image of you having sex. ;D
I think, someone is just a little bit involve in taking drugs, and really wants to get out of it, then he should try to participate in some other healthy activities, and some outdoors games which he could switch to when feel like taking drugs.
