Been a long time: Psych break

If some remembered me, I used to trip quite frequently. There was a moment when I tripped 3 times a week for 2 months straight. Anyway, I had a frequent "bad trip" about 6 months back and decided to take a year break. Well it's been 6 months and I really want to trip. I keep trying to tell myself "man you said 1 year!"
It's just so hard when you have sheets of good shit right in front of you. If you were I, what would you do?

If I were you, I would end up tripping despite the promise I made to myself. I too am a frequent tripper and keep planning this so called 'break' you speak of.
Not saying that's what you should do... but it seems like the probable outcome.

Good to see ya posting again man. 
I definitely can identify with the temptation, but honestly I'd wait. A year passes by quick, and you've already made it six months. It'll be good to have a full year of other life experiences & growth under your belt before delving in again. It's an interesting experience when you take a good long break than go back.

I figured if I stayed away from the forum, staying away from tripping would be much easier.
Yeah I keep saying the same thing too. It's so hard though! Hahaha
How about you bro? Any cool trips lately?

I would just trip on mescaline. It rarely gives bad trips.

Yeah it's good to take a break from here as well. I've taken a few extended breaks from the Shroomery over the years. I've been doing good, busy as hell, but good. The trip that stands out the most was the beginning of the month. Phish played their Halloween run in Atlantic City. I went down for the last night. My friends had rented out a beach house, and there was probably 20-30 people there. I dosed all of them & ate some myself. The trip was beautiful. A combination of the funk Phish was laying down, the venue, and the L made me feel like I'd fallen through a wormhole & ended up in fall 97. It was an awesome night. They had this ridiculous 3D LED light show on the outside of the venue afterwards. That was neat too. I'd developed a bit of a negative mindset prior to this, and the trip was a much needed reboot. A lot of my friends saw the light that night as well.

Glad to see your back sky. Crazy, its been 6 months already. Do what feels right, if your gettin the call... go with it but maybe dip your feet back in the water. Hows your life been? New things happenin? If you made it through the first 6months, im sure you could stick it out another 6 months. All comes down to what you feel would benefit you the most. 
Are your PMs back enabled?

Yeah it flew by quickly. Last time I tripped was in may.
Actually being without was pretty nice. I knew it was needed because there were times when I felt this anxiousness out of no where. It would go on for about 5-10 minutes and I would calm myself down.
I don't know if my pm's are still banned

I know how you're feeling. I decided to part ways with Mary Jane back in July due to not wanting to be popped on a drug test at my work. I told myself the next time I smoked would be when I have a medical card. I tried quitting before then for a couple months and every time I would smoke I'd get massive anxiety over it so I finally cut it off in July. I still have some around the house and I get reaaaal tempted most weekends, but have still abstained mostly due to the paranoia that I just know is around the corner. I keep telling myself to wait, the first puff will be the sweetest when I can't lose my job over it.
Congrats for waiting it out 6 months. If you were wanting to meet the goal of one year, that might fuck with you a bit when you trip, depending on how serious you were when you set the goal. But if you only wanted to reset to get away from bad trips, I'd say you're probably good to go

Ahhh I've missed you posting around here. I always loved reading your trip reports. You've already made it six months. If you're serious about waiting a year then those six months will fly by. Once you get to trip again it will be super
