no, no, i'm good thanks just had to say that about ten times to the offer of all kinds of everything, booze, pills, smokables, etc, etc.. still did pretty good hangin and talkin, had to really stay on top of my social skills, but it was ok, whew.. there was one amphetamine that had me thinkin for a second tho.:scared: |
Well done, Dan, that sober straight muscle gets stronger every time. I focus after a situation like that on my feeling of accomplishment and self satisfaction, trying to make that association in my subconscious. A big pat on the back, if you will. So, give yourself one giant Hearty Atta Boy, you deserve it. |
that's funny, I was just thinking the samething how i feel better now after that ordeal, thanks, hopefully things will keep getting better. |
AAAAWWWWWEEEESSSOOOMMMEEE!!! :c011: "No puffs, pills, potions, or lotions that alter my emotions" |
Are these offers coming to you from other people? Friends? Aquaintances? or.... Are these voices of temptations in your head? Mind? Brain? :) |
the first one, people. |
The Lord's Prayer says "Lead us not into temptation" .... You're saying "Never mind, I can find it myself". You weren't practicing social skills, you were playing Russian Roulette. Best of luck to you. Bob |
That sounds exhausting Dan! Do these people know that you've quit? Well done for saying no though! I have one friend who I just can't see because they are constantly smoking pot/taking amphetamines/drinking and can't comprehend what I'm doing at all. They don't necessarily sound like helpful people to be around right now x |
I tried pretty hard not to put myself in those kinds of situations for a while Dan. I saw a sig here the other day - when you leave the lions den you don't go back for your hat...y'know? :dunno: D |
