Lozz196 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 1 hour ago, discreet said: It's the waste of time that hurts most. And what's more, you knew it. But as usual when negative thoughts arose, it was time for another drink. When I finally gave up it wasn't the physical addiction I found hard to deal with - that's just a habit like any other - it was the forty years' worth of questionable behaviour and terrible choices that came flying out of the booze-locked box where I'd been keeping them, into the cold light of day. So now it's a case of not wasting what time I have left and avoid things like... spending too long online, for example... D'OH!! Pretty much that for me too - I look back now and think of all of the things which I could have, and should have done, but didn`t due to my primary mission of getting hammered at the weekends (and at other indiscriminate times as well).

Heh. Well, I certainly didn't mean to depress the crap out of everyone. Don't look back, folks! Onwards and upwards! Excelsior! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No don't do that - you risk entering a 'Futility Loop'. I recommend a good cry in the cupboard under the stairs when everyone else has gone to bed.

dmccombe7 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I have to say that although i used get well oiled in my early 20's i only ever drank a few beers while playing just once and i made too many minor mistakes i never did it again. I have no regrets about what i did back then as i look at it as an adventure in life where we learn how to cope with various situations. Yes i was offered a few possible options towards fame but i enjoyed my job at the time and it paid better. Its always been a hobby and was always gonna take a back seat to my real job. Of course i could probably have climbed the career ladder a bit earlier but in hindsight i had a great time when i was younger and when i took work more seriously i managed to get to a pretty good management job that paid well enough to retire early. So all in all i really have no regrets except getting rid of some of my bass gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaytonaRik Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 As I sweat like the proverbial pig in a cesspit I have a bottle of isotonic sports drink in a cycling bidon near me nicely chilled with with loads of ice near me. I may have a single bottle between sets but that's about it as I'm always driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
