When you quit getting wasted all the time
    #16360114 - 06/10/12 09:10 AM (11 years, 7 months ago)

What do you do?


I'm hiking everyday & playing skyrim but I need moar things to do, moar variety.

I asked myself what do I like besides drugs n pussy and my answer is not a lot.  Before drugs I used to program computers but that world is no longer appealing.


Any ideas for hobbies, activities.  A better question might be what do you like to spend time doing? (besides eating, drugs n fucking)

Working out? Pick up an instrument? Learn to cook really well? Just find something that interests you and pursue that notion with steadfastness and diligence!

Rock climbing, biking, reading, swimming, rope swings, build a raft, learn to identify trees for your hikes.

Ill say its truly hard to fill the void. Even when there are things you could and should be doing
it takes your consciousness a while to get used to being sober.

art, reading, music (if you can't get into playing, just listen. I find music can be very moving), working out, yoga (even just plain stretching can feel :awesomenod:).

They have been hampering my progression in life.  They increase my anxiety and paranoia which has been fucking up my relationships.  I don't wanna fuck up my relationships.  Its also taken a tol on my physically after 15 years of abuse.  I'm just too old for it now.  I still do an occasional puff or line if offered but its just lost all appeal now.


I like making things.  I might try figuring out how to make slingshots, bow n arrows, flutes out of materials in the forest.  Thats about all I can think of at the mo.

If you're in to hiking, my I suggest expanding on that. Maybe include navigation, rope work, backpacking, & someone alreasy suggested rockclimbing.

Fishing is always good. Try flyfishing, if you dig it then there's flytying..

Good stuff..

also if you live in a good climate check out outdoor ganja growing, i've always wanted to get a GPS and plants a bunch of crops in different locations off of hiking trails (and by off of trails i mean like a mile off trails at least) this would take a lot of work. like one year you would want to just explore all your options, its hard to find good places out of site that have natural watering and sunlight, and then once you have several spots located wait till next spring and have like a hundred seeds germinated and go plant them as soon as possible.

Take up archery.  Growing cactus might be cool too.  I'm doing both this summer.  Pretty stoked about growing cactus.

Heh I like the suggestions to grow drugs for the guy asking what to do when you stop doing drugs ;-P

As someone that's gone through this transition, read read read (books not the internet).  Fiction and non-fiction.  About anything that interests you.  This can be an excellent way to find new hobbies.  If you don't have enough things you enjoy to fill the time, then try lots of new things, and do it before TV starts to fill the void.

If all your friends are druggies then you may want to find things that have a social aspect so you can be around people who are getting together for something other than to get fucked up.  It sounds like you enjoy being active in general which is good, how about something like martial arts.  Or outdoor survival classes.  If you enjoy that you can volunteer to help with later classes which can take up some time and teaching others will teach you more than anything.

Cooking is an excellent suggestion as we all have to eat and it's hard to eat healthy if you don't cook your own food.  Cooking good healthy food can take up a lot of time daily so I understand why few people do it after a long day at work, but I think if anything is worth putting effort into it's good food.  This is one of my main hobbies now.  Instead of turning on the TV or computer when I get home, I go straight to the kitchen and will regularly spend 2 hours there or more.  It's a zen activity for me so I go slow and thoughtfully.  This combined with being active (biking to work and martial arts) has made me the healthiest I've ever been.

If you've been doing drugs for 15 years I'll assume you're 30-ish or older so you're getting to the point where you're going to start noticing how healthy your body is.  When you're 20 you can treat it like shit and not notice, but that ends eventually.  Drugs mask it as well so now that you're stopping you'll really start to feel it, so if you're filling your time with new things, I would recommend factoring health into your choices.  The yoga suggestion above is also excellent for this.  If you're weight lifting you can probably use the stretching.  Or you can combine yoga and martial arts into something like Tai Chi, etc.

The world is a playground, just have fun!
