Taking a long break.

I'm on an long break. For the next 2 months I'm doing a complete detox. The only drug I'll consume is caffiene. Then cutting use right back down to sensible levels, not 3 green hondas every weekend.
 
It's been 6 months today since i've had a pill....i'm half way through my break. I was ok for the first few months but now i really want to pop and go out and jump around like an idiot all night. But i made a deal with myself i'm having a year off so thats that!!!!!!!
 
This will be my 3rd weekend off in a row..
Off = no pills, no speed. I think I might still do Salvia every now and then. Have never realy done anything else.
I decided to have a break after phooking something up because my emotions got in the way. Its a bit sad when you have to wait for something bad to happen to knock you to your senses..But I figure as long as I am on a break it doesnt matter..
Just out of interest, during the last couple of days I have felt the best I have in ages. I have been keen to do my work and have been walking around with a huge smile in my face.
I feel so good now that I dont want to ruin it by going out (even though DJ assault is this W/E)..
how long will my break be ? I dont know yet. I'm realy looking at getting my things in order tho..
PS - was going out every 2 weeks for a while, then did a 5 week straight stint before I stopped.
 
This w/end marks 6 weeks off, which is easily the longest break I have ever had since I started it all 2.5 years ago. For me I have found that the longer the break goes the less I feel the need to do it. I have always felt that when your doing it week in week out, it's very hard to break the cycle.... it becomes normality. The hardest thing is starting the break, but when you do it's like the fog lifts. Maybe iam just burnt out, but I love feeling healthy again. After about a year of saying to myself 'Iam over it' but not backing up my words with the appropriate actions, I think I can safely say I mean it this time. I still love the scene for what it is but special occasions and big events only now and even then cutting down on what I used to have. Besides, iam in love with the bottle again and have has just as much fun if not more with God's Nector as my poison of choice :)
 
I am on long break- it has been approximately 8 months since my last pill or point of speed (those in which I want to take a break from). I am feeling very good about it and most likely will hold out until New Years. My break is on one hand because I need it and on the other geographical. I found it is much easier to stop using these drugs by removing my self from the situation. I'm hoping when I move back to Australia I will have more self control, as I still want to be an occasional user (special occasions)- not an every weekend user. All power to those of you on breaks!!
 
on a slightly related topic.... i have really cut down my usage in the last year and a half.... and up till about 3 weeks ago i had been off for 4 months or something.... but in the two times since ive gone back to it i notice that i need alot of mdma copaired with what i used to need when i was doing it regularly, like early last year (5 bikkies in a night now compared with 2 then)
....ive ruled out different quality pills because the people im with who have been going hard the whole time reackon what we have been having is pretty much the same quality as what we were having way back when.... so whats changed?
 
Hehe, thanks BT however I should take my foot out of my mouth now as I was "naughty" on the w/end. However it was only the one, and my drunken state & persistant friends got the better of me at the time! I still feel iam on top of it nonetheless :)
 
The merygoround of drugs and life will never stop spinning around, however you only choose to get on or off whenever you feel like it.
Some people have trouble getting off and some people will try to not get on again but beware nothing changes on the ride.
Ask yourself what is most important !!
 
Hey guys,
found this thread very interesting as I can relate to what most of you are saying. I first starting using pills about 1.5 yrs ago and every weekend since around march/april. I find that gradually Im having more every wkend, this past wkend I had 4 1/2 sat nite and one more on sunday nite.
Was having an awesome time and didnt leave Daydreams until around 11.30(damn that sunlight!) Its currently Tuesday arvo and feel the worst Ive ever felt after a big wkend. Even last nite I couldnt get to sleep until 6 in the f***ing morning.
I feel it is I time I took a break or at least cut down usage before I do my head in. To make matters worse I have two new room mates who both pill every wkend without fail. Would love to hear of peoples successful stories of taking a break or cutting back. Looking forward to hearing from you all.
Im off to UNI, wish me luck.
PS. Thank god the pink kangaroos/QANTAS's arent around anymore!
 
good luck with ur break, but ive tried several times and as soon as I start returning to "normal" again I get back on. However ive been rollin a lot less and it feels heaps better.
 
Ask yourself why do you take the pills? Do you take them to get fucked over? Is it just force of habit? Do you really enjoy the pill itself, or the escape from reality?
I decided to go cold turkey for a few months, and it's a challange for me. Then come time to get back on the wagon I'll actually want the pills to enhance reality, not distort it.
 
hello people,
i have been munching for about 1 year and have been pretty much doin it every 2 weeks, every now and then i will have a 3 week break and sometimes i will do it maybe 2 or 3 weeks in a row, but usually every 2 weeks. I usually have 2 pills and never had more than 3, and i rarely get a bad comedown, although i have had some pretty bad ones but the majority are good, the thing is before doin this for about a year i was gettn really pissed every weekend and felt crap, and i am feeling much better since i have been munching, sum of u guys were saying that u really feel it in your body and u gotta have a break, but at the moment i feel ok and dont feel that i need break, i also wanted to know is every 2 weeks just to much even though i feel ok and i dont munch to get fucked up i munch to enhance the experience of goin out with my good mates and enjoying the music that i love.
 
hmm, see i find myself in need from a break from weed and caffeine more than mdxx or speed. i never use speed, and my pill intake since the beginning of this year has definately increased (not number of pills per night, but nights out on pills) but whats worrying more is my weed intake. ive been smoking at least once a week, more than usual 2 or 3 times a week for a while, and i can definately notice the effect its having on my lifestyle.
and as good as pills are, i find im much more tempted to have cones on a regular basis than pills, and i think it would be much easier to take a break from mdxx than weed.
good on those people for taking breaks, drugs may be fun, but in the scheme of things, it cant hurt anyone to have a break, anytime. :)
 
After a 5 year break, I went *very* hard for nine months... resulting in a ridiculous bender at the end of last semester. However, I am rolling far less than I used to now, I have weaned myself back to 3 in a night, or 4 if a recovery is involved, and I discovered the true problem: smoking that damn weed while coming off pills. The last few times I've rolled I've stayed well away from it, and I have felt so much better for it - no comedown, no terrible tuesdays... nothing. Just rolling, then no more rolling.
My point: I'm a fool if I think I'm going to stop completely at this stage... but I did see that I was going too hard, and I've pegged it back to a far more acceptable level. Soon I'll be at the business end of the semester, and I need my faculties with me, so I guess there's a six to eight week break coming up ;)
It's nice to not go so hard... it's nice to get to bed early Sunday morning and actually see some of Sunday afternoon, having had a lovely sleep. It's nice to be able to kick around at home and face my mother without avoiding her seeing my eyes... and it's really nice to have that extra bit of cash in the pocket at the end of the weekend.

The break is over.
At Gods Kitchen I came out of my 20 week break, six weeks early. Well, I got a free ticket and there was such a great line-up, so I couldn't afford not to drop ;) j/k.
I basically got to the point where I had proved to myself that I was in control of my life. Far more than I ever expected. It's been a pleasant suprise I can assure you. Everything I just so much better than it ever was. Dare I say it's almost as good as the day I first dropped. Sure the experience isn't nearly as strong, but I feel far more emotionally, physically and mentally secure/strong/stable/(call it what you want) than ever before in my chemical life.
 
Congrats to the breakin crew!
Well I have to emit a wry chuckle reading over this thread.
I've always been a pretty self aware person when it comes to using drugs, and certainly when it comes to developing problems with them.
In the 16 months or so that I've been taking MDMA, I've consumed exactly 13 and a half pills.
In that time I've had two breaks of over 3 months duration, why? Because I felt like it, not really because I needed it.
I don't see myself stopping using MDMA in the near future, simply because my frequency of use does little to alarm me at all.
I guess that's one of the benefits of being a moderate kind of person.
-plaz out-
 
Well since Pharmacy6 I've eaten at least 35 green hondas and a small mount of other assorted very strong pills. I was getting to the stage of getting mashed beyond belief every single weekend. I would go to clubs and raves and just munch and munch and sit on my butt all night.
Then I paused.
Went to Gods kitchen on the weekend and only had the 2, which isn't much considering my size. Danced my butt off. Dribbled absolute shit to strangers. Had the maddest time in a very long time.
So worth the break, to get back to my roots, and to remind myself the reason I started taking pills. Not to get fucked up, but to dance-dance-dance.
 
Its been a year and 4 months since i started dropping
Havent dropped or been to an event since january
IM looking forward to Scooter, however its not the pill that is exciting me its the event, the linup and the fact its the day after my last hsc exam :D
I started last june (2001) i had 8 pills in the 6 months, my usage didnt alarm me enough
I have always been one of those ppl, when it comes to things like money or xtc i can moderate and account very well
It was tricky coming out of the scene (not that i was really every too involved in it, i mean more the music and events etc) at first, and i found the best way that helped me was that i gradually stopped listening to much electronic music and more traditional intrumental stuff (yeh ben harper, incubus, and jack johnson), i also stopped visiting this board, overdrive, peakers, etc all those type sites
Detach yourself for awhile, focus on other areas of your life, dont 'forget' entirely, just adjust your priorities :D
