Really had to stop myself wandering round to the offie when I got locked out this afternoon. If my neighbour hadn't given me a lift to my mate's I'd be arseholed by now, most likely.
I don't think we should encourage her to have a drink. Snolls obviously wants to abstain and she's doing a brilliant job so far, it's clearly doing her the world of good.
Even via BL I can sense she's a lot happier, more clear headed and even a bit wittier, some of your posts have cracked me up recently. Probably due to cutting down on the booze.
I was the same last year, tried to give up drinking but ended up smoking mass amounts of weed instead. Sabbaticals from one thing are a lot easier than sabbaticals from everything I reckon
I've forced myself to take a break by visting some family in edinburgh for a week, only the end of the third day but i already feel 10x better! The real test is when i get home though....
Does this drug sabbatical thing have to mean 100% sober and clean or just clean of your main poison?
I'm taking a leave of absence from alcohol when my GBL comes.....
When I get my baclofen (in about 5 years when the current tests prove it really does halt addictive behaviours)I won't be clean and sober will I .
What about green tea?That has drugs in...
I've had an MDMA sabbatical that has lasted since December 2000.I would like to end that sabbatical forthwith as perhaps my serotonin receptors have vaguely recovered.
Of course I can't get any "proper" drugs for shit unless its smack or crack,all the rest is factory sweepings,brick dust,ephedrine and BZP.Christ I'm jealous of certain BL'ers who have 2C-everything in their wardrobe.And I want AMT.I would not drink for a month if I was allowed some AMT...
AMT was on prescription in Russia for a long time - Baclofen too - but I believe they may still have the odd alcoholic knocking about the place. No magic bullets there I'm afraid
Baclofen did shit all for me but AMT is a great antidepressant and also a lot of fun. It's legal if you can find it... Sadly easier said than done as a rule
And I believe this thread is for general support for any sabbatical - whatever substance it is you are trying to reduce/stop. A sabbatical from what you want to cut out, not necessarily abstinence from everything
It is a self imposed thing I do broke. And by the looks of it plenty of others take wee drug breaks too, especially if the taking off said gorgeous love of our lives substances are having detrimental effects on life, the universe and everything :D
Cannot believe you lot were goading snolly into boozing ffs *tut tut waves finger*
I'm not going to overly analyse my fall from the bus there, have put myself on the next one and will stay on for as long as possible.
Think my initial target of a month may have been too ambitious...I did say I'd give myself "one" session of battering but it wasn't supposed to be that wee excursion there into downer land.
Quite possibly, Kate. Is a cliche for sure, but it really does work best "one day at a time". When I used to attempt sabbaticals in my junkydom I'd be setting my sights by the hour - small steps are more realistic and achievable when days and weeks seem impossible. Setting your sights too high can be disheartening and then it's very easy to just think "Fuck it - failed so I may as well give up on it."
