I figured I would start a thread of things that make us happy. Maybe this will help us think about positive thoughts and push out the negatives.

Golfing makes me happy. Being out in nature surrounded by impeccably manicured grass, beautiful flowers, and the sounds of nature. Golfing relaxes me and has helped me through many hard times.
 
I like to take mountain bike out and ride thru the woods, so relaxing to me. Add some music and a sunset into the mix and I am happy, temporarily.

peace,
seedless
 
I've discovered that skydiving is the most intense high I've ever experienced; even more adrenaline-pumping than heroin. I enjoy anything that gets my adrenaline going. I'm bat-shit crazy in the way that I'll try anything. I love jumping off of cliffs and bridges into water, flying (I'm learning), riding horses and doing all sorts of crazy stuff with them (the bigger the jumps and the faster I go, the better), rock climbing, skiing the most difficult runs I can find, etc. I think I've always been like this and it's one of the reasons I always sought an even more intense high. Now that I am sober I have had to figure out how to replace the feeling that drugs gave me, and these things are definitely getting the job done. It took a while to open up to them but I haven't looked back since.
 
^^ I really want to go skydiving actually!! One day, one day %)


J&H this is a really great thread idea, thank you :) <3


*My boyfriend makes me happy, he is my best friend. He loves me so much, it's amazing. His love is 100% reciprocated by me and it's such a wonderful feeling to love and be loved in return <3

*My pets make me happy. They are just so cute and so so funny. They make me smile every single day, regardless of how shit I'm feeling <3

*Music makes me happy. I get serious endorphin rushes from music. I need it to live <3

*Nail polish makes me happy. It's a bit of an obsession of mine, there's not much more satisfying to me than having perfectly manicured and freshly painted nails =D
 
This is such an awesome thread idea. Honestly every time I come in this forum the first thing i subconsciously think of are negative thoughts about what some of the threads might be. It's good to see a positive thread even in TDS every now and then. Anyway, i'm having a hard time thinking about what truly makes me happy. I'm trying to think of answers besides something to do with a chemical alteration. The first thing that comes to mind are my 2 children. I don't get to see them everyday so the days I do I have the most fun and I feel like i'm complete. 'Also, doing anything that's a sport of some kind makes me happy; i.e. cards (texas holdem) pool, paintball, walking trails, and things like concerts music festivals, and everything between.
 
Learning Italian makes me happy. You get the intellectual thrill of trying to figure out how the language works and the social thrill of trying to talk to people with a tenth the number of words you normally have. Vorrei parlare piu!
 
My new job is the only thing that's making me happy at the moment, I guess that's good and bad :p

I *highly* recommend it to everyone I know. A lot of people can't get past the ridiculousness of it because, well, we're wired to NOT jump out of planes at 6,000+ ft. I always tell them that they're way more likely to die in a car wreck (which never really comforts anyone but it's a logical way to look at it :P).

I can't believe I did it. I can't believe I had the gall to actually jump out of that plane. I was so excited I actually jumped out early! I have been two times so far and I am probably going this Sunday. I am starting classes soon; that's how much I love it.

Have fun with it!
 
Movies :D

House music =D

Everything being in its right place....

Good company

MDMA :p

Children

Magazines

Shopping :o

Being financially stable (long, lost feeling that one)

Working (believe it or not!), but in the productivity sense mainly

A hot & healthy sex life :(

lots of stuff- could go on forever
 
Having a random bonding experience drug-induced or not.
Being in nature
Smoking weed in nature/Psychedelics
Just driving around with no destination/time schedule
 
UNH... That is so fucking awesome (for lack of better description). My hart is already pumping because I can envision myself duing it. FFS I have sweaty hands, haha. I wanna I wanna I wanna!! Hope I don't die from anxiety though.. Did you do a tandem jump or do they let you jump out all by yourself the first time?

What makes me happy?
-Discussions with intelligent people
-Working out both cardio and weights
-Cooking good food alone and for groups
-I used to hate going out to bars unless thoroughly f'd up.. Now that I have been off the drugs for a while I can actually enjoy myself
 
writing music makes me happy, so does playing it, the high after and during a good gig is as good as anything, better than drugs and sex when it's really good.

teaching music actually makes me happy when I know that I'm connecting with the student.

good tv shows make me happy

traveling makes me happy

girls make me happy, then depressed,

paying rent on time feels good.

House music always sets my mind at ease. Always.

I hear ya on the music thing man, like I said before, music is the fuel for my life :) <3
What music do you teach?
 
I'll have to agree with the house music, sometimes the only thing that can get me out of a shitty mood is some Deadmau5 at full blast. Other than that, some good friends, the type that actually want to enjoy a spliff with me rather than whoever's willing to pitch.

Other than that, sleeping through the bullshit...
