Well I have spent today booking some gig tickets using the money I would usually spend on gear to do this, to give me something to look forward to. It's gone on the credit card but I figure I will have more money now to pay it off now I'm not spending ££££ on feeding the beast. Gonna really try and just enjoy going out listening to music and buzzing off the crowd.. I've done this before, went to some sober morning raves last year during a clean period (sadly they are no longer happening in my town) and it's actually not as hard as it looks to have a good time on nothing but water and fresh air!
Hi to Kopfan sounds like you are doing well and finding healthier pursuits.
Hi Minion, agree that its such a personal decision who you tell.... there can be pros and cons to confessing to others. Hope you have a good 4th July sounds like you have plenty to celebrate now.
