Sure the dead kitten thing was unintentional, Kate. Atrocious timing, to be sure, but positive it wasn't meant to cause upset. Tambo is only moderately evil really ;)

First few days of a sabbatical are bound to be the hardest. Sure you know from experience that if you can get through those early days then it gets easier for the most part. Apart from those sudden overwhelming cravings that come out of the blue and the like :|

No drugs for now please, wifeydear - hubby says so :X

;)

It will get easier <3
 
Does a sabbatical count if you've planned to take drugs for the following week, but don't take any in the week up-coming to the event that you will take drugs at =D?

For me it's taking a wee holiday from 24/7 use. :\

So welcome to the sabbatical thread m'dear, come join the demented state of fucking straightness..:!:(:!
 
hehe we're like a cult :D

glad all seems to be going well kate, tis a bugger the first week or so. i think i'm turning into a bit of an 'alcohol is evil' sort of person though not so with drugs so that's good. have accidentally enforced my sabbatical on my ex's brother as he won't drink if we aren't, and on her boyfriend as HE won't drink if none of us are. oops!

going well anyway, feel great and the best thing is my skin is better! apart from this bastard spot.

have fun snowboarding kid, damn yooooou. where you off?

I pretty much turned into that for a while after I gave up drinking and replaced with lots of weed :). I've probably only had two drinks in the past 6 months, and probably less in the 6 months before that.

I'd probably drink booze if I was out and there was nothing else (mind that's almost an impossibility), but I do feel good knowing I can keep away from alcohol and my body will thank me for it later in life. As long as I don't abuse everything else :p

I just feel impartial to it now, take it or leave it type thing.
 
aye tis good innit, i like going out and not feeling a compulsion to go drink the entire bar dry! replaced it with weed early last year when i had a lot of money. i'd still be doing that if i could afford it i think :D

take it or leave it is a good way to be, one i've had absolutely no fucking idea about til recently!
 
Tis a good thing indeed :) Probably about the only thing I can contribute to the drug sabbatical thread, extreme almost non-existent alcohol moderation! :)
 
I'd personally be more worried about smoking weed every day (you do smoke every day yeah?) than having the odd drink.
 
I'm not going to debate whether a joint a day is worse for you than a drink a day.

Everything in moderation is key, I smoke weed whenever I can, but I never put it before any responsiblity or feel the need to rely on it for anything for any sort of happiness. Its just one of my favourite ways to relax :)

My ideal drug use would be weed on the weekends, with the occasional psychedelic trip once in a while.

And tbh, benzos are probably more of a danger to me than weed will ever be.
 
Bickering pruned at the early stages. Take such things to other threads - or preferably to PM. This thread is not a place to debate the rights or wrongs, to make judgements on people's decisions or anything else that is not relevant to the matter at hand.

Positive thoughts, support, encouragment and advice only for a change please, people :)
 
Ultimately being fucked is always the nicer option for me. I'll have been a drug user for 26 years this summer but I'll soon be 43 and now need to maintain balance and self discipline - it's all about damage limitation, ensuring better quality experiences and having a full life not a restricted one.

Tell me about it, I'm 45 and am much more aware of the potential for damage from my 'exploits'. Must say though, my break recently was very helpful in getting hideous deprerssion sorted and even though I've somewhat halted my drug holiday (although just cannabis on any sort of regular basis), I'd highly recommend such action every now and again as being totally clear headed was a high in itself (one I was rather loathed to end, if I'm honest, but someone was most inconsiderate & invited me to a birthday party... =D)
 
I truely appreciate BL's ability to provide me with wisdom and lessons learned from others, especially those a lot older and experienced than I :)

Having an almost non-existant relationship with my family, this place provides me with much needed food for thought. Corny i know, but still, gotta love the elders and the perspectives they provide <3 :)
 
Seconded, Whore :)

Not necessarily always elders either, mind - many BL folks older, younger, more or less experienced than I have been of immense help to me in many circumstances, for many reasons, many times. Some very fine folks out there <3

im due for a sabbatical....6 years of wild and bad craziness...i need at least a months break

Hmm... can relate. Many years of excessive excessiveness without a break certainly does take it's toll... :|

the problem is i can never get around to doing it

Can also relate. I find that although a complete sabbatical from all drugs seems to be completely beyond me so far, I can at least reduce the very worst excesses to managable levels for fairly extended periods. It's a start at least :)
 
Had a rather mad drug weekend, and been feeling drained and knackered since, although at least i'm semi cheery. I've kinda been taking it pretty easy this past month, but I want to continue that way for a while longer... the stimulants have definitely made my chest feel a bit weird again, although quite mildly really.

Hopefully with spring coming I can go on some good walks or bike rides; something to distract myself from the temptations of relaxing fuckedness. Best of luck to all who're trying similar cut-downs... <3 :)
