Goodbye Partying!

[tiedye]

regardless... this thread was more just a shout out to my friends, because this means no more club nights, no more pubs, no more house parties.. I plan on spending my free time hitting up art exhibits, reading, and the like.

So here goes. One month, starting today. =)

[Heffy]

go to art gallery openings... they are advertised in the georgia straight...

FREE booze. FREE food. and lots of girls... plus if you are the least artsy guy there, you will also be the most manly.. gigidigigidi!

Why only one month? What's the point of taking a break for one month and then going back to your old ways? I know how hard it can be, and I had to just stay away from everyone for a few months to learn that but now i can go out with the worst infuences and not give in. Good on you for trying to take it easy but you should try and learn to deal with the temptations rather than just avoiding it so when you go back you just binge more. Live, take in as much as you can, but still leave time for fun. Like the monks say, everything in moderation.

you're only lying to yourself.

I've said vowed to quit partying and everything countless times. lol

I did eventully do it for 3 months though and i know i could do it again.

If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.

You know, because being there for a friend and trying to hear them out and help them is such a horrible thing to do these days.

Grow up.

there's more things to worry about in this world then getting your dick sucked.

[Revolver]

CHAD!!! dude....relax.

i wouldnt deny yourself the pleasures of the nightlife so fast.let me explain. the fact that you are consciouss of this already at your young age speaks volumes. i dont think its the partying that your having trouble integrating with. perhaps its the drugs you are consumeing and the guilt associated when they wear off.

try going out and taking it real easy, no chems or hard alkies. just water,beer and maybey a spliff or too and leave early.

trust me mate....its the only way to survive doing this for 7+ years.

it is possible to party and be responisble with jobs and such, the trick is to party responsibly and NOT let some of the shady people in this scene tug you into the nether realms. those people never last anyways, ive seen countless faces burn out and dissapear.

ha, i went through this same shit years ago.....trust me, you can have both sides, but the balance is within you.

When someone speaks out and asks for help.. naturally you try to help..

But I cant do it for him.

If hes serious this time all the power to him.

But you dont ask people for help and then go out and get mangled.

You cant help someone who is not willing to help themself.

[Glen Miller]

yea, very true

[Clayton.]

My friends helped me quit by doubting i could do it and betting money on it with me. Of course there were the friends who were supportive and all that but the ones who doubted me helped more. I sure proved them wrong. haha:)

[Clayton.]

Loving to stay home on friday nights watching the ghost whisperer and listening to house was also a big help.

[KenJi]

Good luck man. I quit the whole partying thing for like half a year before i think 2 years ago.

Now I still go out and get drunk and party but I have money and I try and balance it out. Work all week. Go out maybe a couple of hours of a thursday. and maybe once on the weekend.

Balance is key to many aspects of life as Carrie already pointed out.

I know many people that make money, have a career and have room to have fun !

i agree with this. by all means, go out, get a second job, work hard, keep busy, etc. but it doesnt hurt to go out with your friends once or twice a month and have a few beers or whatever. just limint yourself. :)
anyway, whatever you decid to do, good luck. !!

[justShell]

you know im always here:)

[nabs]

good on you bro! :) if you ever wanna chill or spin or anything just to hang out, lemme know.

Im really gonna start cutting down myself.

[mapleleaf4ever]

To avoid getting tempted to Party I just work every day.

Haven't had a day off since last Thursday and might not have one until the Week after next.

[Gusto]

bye nabs:)

Well said Carrie. It can be done!

[mojo]

i think it has to do with passion and integrity as well. if you find something, a job or a hobby or an academic stream that you love, you will not risk it in order to go out and get drunk. you will see that the pros much out way the cons. plus it helps to severe ties to those friends that still sit at the pub every weeknight and talk about the same old shit.

good luck. when you first started out on this board you seemed like a very bright man.....im sure you haven't killed that aspect with too many chemicals yet.

[Carrie]

I don't have that much money right now, I've got a budget set up and I do my best to follow it.

I drive a car, gas is very expensive but going out drinking sometimes costs more then a little gas.
Taking a taxi to and from home is 20$ - 25$, 2-5 drinks is usually 10$-50$ and of course food afterwards is always 10$. That is 85$ if I buy my friends a drink then the cost goes up.

I usually decide to bring my car and only have a couple drinks because I don't drink and drive. That ends up costing about 20$ for the night. If my friends decide to buy me the 1-2 drinks then it's such a cheap night.

ps. I eat at home a lot. Eating at restaurants is expensive.

I agree completely with this philosophy. I don't touch drugs and don't drink too much either (driving helps with that one) You definitely feel better the next morning and can go about your day.
