I used to say to people who were wondering if they were having psychological habituation or addiction issues: "If you want to be sure, go on a 100 day drug hiatus and see how easy or hard it is."
Me personally, I've recently been using Methoxetamine fairly often so I decided in September to take my own advice and go on a 100 day drug hiatus off of 
The first weeks were somewhat unpleasant but then it was Lately I've been somewhat more stable psychologically and more grounded in consensus rerality, as can be expected. I'm more comfortable not doing much of anything whereas MXE tended to push me towards goal directed activity. Seems I was somewhat habituated but not addicted.
December 20, right before christmas I'm counted out and did my 100 days.

100 days without your Drug Of Choice
Many of you will recoil in shock. No way! Unthinkable!
But is anyone of you, after No Shave November and the No Fap Challenge, willing to foresake their drug of choice, or a drug they use frequently, for 100 days?
Make your vows here and keep us posted of your progress in this thread.
HAVE YOU GOT THE TESTICULAR FORTITUDE TO DO 100 DAYS SOLDIER?! 
Break a habituation pattern. Accomplish a feat of endurance. Give your body & mind a break. Revert tolerance. Save money. Do it.

At first I thought "well fuck, that's easy.." Then I remembered alcohol is a drug too and I wouldn't be able to go out and drink with my friends.. For 3 months? No drinks for Xmas or new years? Fuck that lol 
Although I may try this after new years and not drink till my birthday in march mind you.. Wonder how I'll feel.

I suppose I'd have to give up all psychedelics if I was to take on the challenge. Seems kind of a cheat to just give up one.
I found some Acacia Confusa bark the other day and was planning on making a nice batch of Ayahuasca on Sunday. So I'll start after Sunday. Seems like a pretty good plan: Monster trip, then one hundred days of sobriety to reflect on the experience.
I'll take on your challenge Wiccan, I'll take it on.
Start date: December 2, 2013

100 days? I'm trying to go thousands of days without doing my favorite drug.
I had wine last night with dinner so I'll have to restart my count. Good luck people. Sounds like a worthy challenge... . . .

I planned on quitting weed for a while last night and if my counting was right 100 days from now is my birthday, so i'll go ahead and give it a try. I don't drink or use any other substance habitually so i guess i'm lucky i'm only quitting weed.

I am taking on your challenge Wiccan. I have to quit anyway. A recent bout with synthetic cannabinoids and 25i-nBOME has left me feeling highly depersonalized, anxious, and perhaps even feeling a bit of brain damage. I was already giving up my drugs of choice, cannabinoids/cannabinomimetics and alcohol, this will just give me extra impetus. Especially since you're my favorite poster. Also, today is a week without cigarettes (though I have been using an e-cig).
Start date:
November 29th, 2013
End Date:
March 9th, 2014
I think that's right. My brain is fried so fuck it.

Great things are happening in this thread 
Apart from the health and self esteem benefits..
1oz of weed in 3 weeks for 100 days saves you a tad over $2000. Picture what you can do with that.
Suggestion: convert your 100 days of no weed to a 100oz bar of silver which you can use as a paperweight until it very likely doubles or triples in value in a few years.

If you are concerned about a potential addiction, then quit your drug of choice completely. 100 days is really nothing, especially if you are going to use right after.

If serious addiction clues exist you are right of course, but to get to facing the realities of your drug use, many need a wake up call to snap them out of their denial. a 100 day drug holiday does that -- if there really is a psychological habituation or addiction issue, the hiatus will bring it to light.
And at day 100 you are freer to decide what to do next than when still in the intensive usage pattern.
I smoked cigarettes like a French whore but after 100 days of abstinence I knew I had it beat.

I don't believe it is healthy to go 100 days without psychedelics... I'm going to pass on this one.

Man that really is one hell of a challenge and I'll be the first to congratulate you on going the 100 days without touching a single thing.
For me, if it's not one thing, it's always another. Recently it's been GHB that seems to be taking up all my spare time. Each night when I get home from work, rather than pour myself a cold beer or a glass of wine, it's been a large dose of GHB that seems to be keeping me occupied.
100 days without touching a thing sounds like a challenge. In all honesty, I think I'd find it quite hard to stop completely. I'd be lost and not have a clue what to do with myself. But you know what? I quite fancy the challege.
I'll wait it out until after the new year but come January, I'm going to set myself a goal and see if I can go the 100 days without touching anything. It may actually getting me off the couch and into the gym.
When chatting to a work colleague, he was telling me he's only drank once this entire year. I swear the minute he told me, I nearly died. I just can't imagine not touching a single thing!
