what to do when not drinking?

[mordy]

I'm not an alcoholic, but ever since college, the weekend has meant at least one night of drinking, going out. But now that i am trying to cut it down to help lose weight, i find myself kinda out of ideas on what to do to have fun.

I'm still kinda new here in LA so i don't have a big network of friends, and i want to go out and meet people but if theres beer in 100 ft by god i am gonna have to drink some of it.

So what do you non drinkers do?

Watching a movie?

Also, believe it or not, playing a few rounds of a popular board game can also be very fun and rewarding.

two things come to mind

CKY and breaking shit ( prolly related to CKY )

maybe talk to some people at the gym you go to, then after a while ask them what they do on the weekends and see if you can tag along or meet up with them or some shit

you gotta make an effort

 

[jerkbox]

poyeboy, can I tag along with you and your llama?

 

[PoyeBoy]

i started taking xanax because it is calorie free but i really don't reccomend that route.

this is very true bro....i try to blaze a little when i go out and it helps but it's not always the best solution. i wish things were easier

it's a little easier at a club though...music/atmosphere take over and you dont have to focus as much on being fucked up.

that being said i still drink about twice a month to keep sane..

I find that the only time I enjoy going out without drinking is when I'm on a cycle: that general feeling of well-being and self-confident swagger that anabolics/androgens bring out feel even better than being drunk.

 

[magman1]

yeah, im two weeks in, so feeling kinda shitty right now...got the fina flu...watching/listening to all the fun going on around me, hoping i made the right choice

its easy to talk to strangers without drinkin while on adderalls, or pain meds

for me weed makes me quiet up, like I cant say anything to anyone, thats why I dont smoke it ever

 

[magman1]

i used to smoke all the time, bout everyday for a few years...then i realized how shady it made me, not social at all...so i stopped smoking and feel better times 10!

same hear

my friends and I started smoking at the same time when we were about 15, I smoked for about a year and a half prolly everyday, maybe 2-5 times a day and hella piles of herb on the weekends, it was hella fun/cool at first, then after a while we'd just smoke and then not talk at all, after a while I just said fuck it, stopped hangin around those friends, and i havent been able to smoke ever since

now those people still poke smot, they all have like 3 dwi's and dead end jobs, or work for thier pops doing construction

not stereotyping regular pot smokers though, thats just from my own expierience

 

[calveless wonder]

weed effects people in different ways....and if you smoke all the time, just ilke anything else, you're gonna be burnt out.

when i first started smoking back in high school i was constantly quiet and paranoid, so i really didnt like it much. i would always rather drink.
but after awhile i learned to not give a fuck and the paranoia disappeared and i found myself much more social. some of my best conversations and thinking take place when i'm high. I also have a tendency to talk to girls more when i'm high...oddly enough though,not really in crowded places. It's weird but if you can "control" your high and your emotions it's the best thing out there.


i honestly don't need anything else...except when going out and going to crowded places. if i'm high and there's less than 20 people i'm really on point but if it's a huge crowded bar i get mild anxiety

If I smoke a little bit of weed I'm more energetic and outgoing. If I get stoned I become a mute zombie.
