Uh were basically all 18-20, how old did you think we are? 30?
well I doHmmm...... I thought 30 was now considered young! You must consider some of us over 40 or 50 ancient?! :bigsmile:
noooo!
we're suggesting you try out other themes for get-togethers- coz you were worried that a) you were having side-effects after your beerpong nights, and b) your mates aren't really into anything else by the sound of it..
just try making a few of these suggestions to them- they don't have to stop having a drink if that's what they wanna do, and if there's another point to the night instead of getting wasted then you can have fun doing that instead.
sorry if i'm being preachy- that's not what i meant to do...
it's a really difficult question to answer, but we're just trying to suggest other things for you..
peace![]()
well I do
I'd rather not ruin the party for them. and I mostly felt like shit because I believe It was the 4 shots I had I starting feeling shity after only 2.....
I never did drugs before?So, maybe you need some new fiends if you'd rather not ruin the party.
'Cause sometimes those type of friends aren't worth it. My seizures started when I was young (is 23 young in your book?) and back then I was big into partying. But once I started having big time TC seizures and suffered serious injuries from seizures, no more booze and pot. And I found a different set of friends.
I know it's tough trying to keep the party going without the usual drink props. Maybe just be up front with your pals and ask for their advice? Let them know that you can't drink the way you used to, but you love hanging out with them and are counting on their creativity to come up with fun things to do together that aren't centered around alcohol...
Azusa,
These people have great ideas. I wish i knew them when i first quit drinking. Now I have a blast in life and all sober. I like to tell people I do not need to 'use' anything, I am like this forever. It took a while and new friends too but sooo worth it. I also find so much support/comfort by sharing my trials on here about anything and never being judged. Thank you
