My New Year's Resolution 1
#7810934 - 12/29/07 04:10 PM (16 years, 5 months ago) |
|

I always hated these "I'm leaving" threads, but I figured I owe it to people here who might wonder what happened to me. I'm at a point in my life where I feel like I need to get my shit together. It seems like the Shroomery is too big a distraction for me to take care of the things I want to accomplish. So, it's with some sadness but firm determination that I announce my New Year's Resolution to leave the Shroomery for an entire year. I'll have two more days to mess around on here, and then I'll see you guys again in 2009(assuming I don't cave in on this).

Wow, good luck! I would have to disable my internet for that to work for me. Everything in moderation, even the Shroomery.
Which reminds me; I've been on here wayyy too much lately.

We'll see. Even if I only make it 3 months, it'll help a great deal.

Getting my life together, making money, reading, writing, socializing. I remember NYE 2004 when I took a month off of the Shroomery. At the time I was in college and pretty much had no friends outside of the Shroomery. During that month, I met a bunch of cool people, and suddenly had a social life. If a month could do that for me, I'd like to see what a year can do.

i took like 2-3 years off of the shroomery once. just like you said you were in 04, i had no friends, no life, and all i did was mess around on the shroomery and cause problems, lol.
i didn't choose to leave however, my mom kicked me out of her house and baam!...i had friends, a party life, a new girlfriend(dysfunctional however), a new job, a new car, a whole new me.
but since then, i've somehow faded back into my little crawl space of a loner life. im ready to go back to living though...i quit smoking(pretty sure for good), dont really smoke weed anymore, and im actually loosing that little bit of weight that i've been saying im going to lose for the last couple of years.
good luck on your resolution.

Good luck man! I'm probably gonna take a break fairly soon considering my GPA suffered mainly because of this damn site! Even though I'm new to the shroomery my life has been going downhill pretty much. I need to get my shit together as well, wish me luck! And good luck to all y'all fellow shroomerites! As they say, once a shroomerite always a shroomerite(Or at least I say that)!!!!

Yeah, I did the same thing. It was a hard task but I was happy that I pulled it off. See you in 2009, Silversoul.

honestly, I think by placing such a long time frame for self-banment you are setting yourself up for failure.
like they say in AA, one day at a time.

I am taking responsibility, by deciding to stop wasting my time on this forum.

I'm talking about the all or nothing approach, ignoring moderation. By completely avoiding it you cast it as a negative in itself that is the root of your current problems. In reality, the real root is yourself and such character flaws. Work on those and those alone, Shroomery has nothing to do with them. If you work on improving yourself, completely leaving the Shroomery is not necessary, since moderation will surely follow.
The Shroomery isn't your problem. You are your problem.
