Agreed codshit, positive thinking is important for anything in life, especially drug sabbaticals
Cheers Inso!
Had a few wee sabbatical wobbles, in truth. Went out with my bestest friend and her brother for a few pints and that last week which was nice and went out last night and had a few too. Was quite fun though, didn't have many, got home and lay on the decking talking to my parents for a bit then I must have fallen asleep watching telly. I feel really good today actually, so I suppose everything in moderation. Have definitely decided to keep it out the house though. Think I'm doing well as I have no desire to drink today, actually don't have the desire to drink at all unless someone asks me to go out so yeah I think that's cool.
Must admit my first foray back into the world of booze may have initially coloured my view of it as it was absolutely terrible, but I see no reason to swear it off as long as I stay sensible and only drink when I'm out.
Still rather stay sober/stoned than be drunk though.

Well done Snolly. %)
Moderation is definitely the way to go with alcohol, unless you really can't manage it in which case teatotal is better. Hopefully you'll keep it at reasonable levels this time - a couple of pints is really quite different to a 'binge'.
I'm on a not entirely voluntary drug sebatical myself at the moment. No weed and nothing else (except the odd pint here and there) and i'm really missing it
Only getting 4 hours sleep each of the last 4 nights isn't helping much either.Infinite Jest

I'm going to have to try moderating the booze as well, I'm finding it clashes with the SSRIs a bit too much.
Mate of mine was visiting the UK from Aus, hadn't seen him in years. Got quite drunk on four pints and blurted out some stuff I shouldn't have (told him how his ex from 10 years ago, that he only dated for two months, had tried to hit on me. No need for it). And just generally got a bit drunker than I needed on a weeknight. Might try drinking water or something daft like that.

We miss you too! BL is fairly addictive, I think.
Yeah moderation is working out quite well! Or at least I am getting fairly tipsy but only once every so often and not on my own either, just with mates. Find it way more enjoyable this way and the hangovers are basically putting me off doing it all the time. Getting some weed this week which I think will make me see another booze sabbatical til it's gone, the stuff always stops me drinking. It's weird to think how I managed to drink every day, wake up feeling like this and then continue to drink and then just repeat it constantly. At one point I even worked out exactly how much I could buy to get me through to the next pay day. Think having the chance to look back and see how much not drinking every day has made my life better has made me a lot less likely to go back to caning it. And obviously I'm like 1000% less miserable and teenage than I was.
IJ, how badly do the SSRIs interfere with your drinking? I'm on a fairly low (I assume) dose and they fucked with me badly one time over Christmas but recently I've had no problems. I definitely used them as an excuse when people I didn't know bugged me about not drinking, though.
