Dry January

[catalog]

I'm doing it. Loads of booze, weed and magic mushrooms in the house but not touching any of it for at least 30 days.

Who else is in!

Come on!

my mom made me drink wine on new years.... killing my sobriety...

No problem at all especially now that my mom is in (she has finally accepted her fate that the rest of her life will be spent with a zombie).

I know children of alcoholics (and smokers) and it puts them off fof life. But equally I know 9ther children and they are all in.

I always recall the chief in one flew over thd cuckoo nest. "he drank so much that one day it was the bottle drinking him"

I was sober for five years, 2017-2022 and it was so weird, it was like being on drugs.

The funny thing is that I was definitely headed that direction after so much contact with my mom's menthol 100s which would sometimes make me physically sick especially if she was smoking in the car.
I was probably also the person that complained the most about it.
BUT, one day, after I had moved away for the first time, and to another city, and without food, a girl leaves a carton of cigarettes at my place and they start to become more tempting and enticing, so naturally...
The next time I visited my family they were so shocked - just absolutely flabbergasted.
Been a very regular lifelong smoker in the decades ever since and don't think I will ever quit. This after done so many other supposedly addictive things from crack to meth (meth is my fave).
I was just smoking in the garage again before writing this, and pretty soon i'll prolly be out there again chainsmoking into the wee hours of the night...

Think we've discussed on here before how it's odd that meth is popular in USA and Oz, but never took hold in the UK.

Re smoking, I still love it, the feeling and ritual of it.

Woops wrote beautifully about it in his novel and we have the thread too

just don't take up smoking (not that I think you will, you've already expressed your disgust before)

We're a coke country.

 

[0bleak]

i wonder if meth is still as popular here though - read about stuff like fentanyl all the time now

In Portugal I smoke all the time, in UK it's five times the price so I just stop. 30 a day to zero and it's no problem at all.
