...and came home from work, opened up a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand and enjoyed a glass while having a joint!

I don't even like white that much....more of a red girl....but FUCK this tastes good!!

I'm going to be buzzing like a drunk little bee very soon.

*pours glass no two*

8-)

(...and yes, four weeks of no drinking is a big feat for me!! haha)

  • I alreay feel sorry for your head ;)
    There was a time when I didn't drink alcohol except for ten very special days per year. Then I had one cup of hot spiced wine and I was drunk as almost never before. It was just ONE cup!!!! :oops: :o

    I should be right....I didn't drink for all of October and my tolerance levels were REALLY good when I started drinking again. I thought I'd get drunk quickly etc but I didn't...damn it! :lol:;)

    Only ten days? That's crazy! haha

  • Oh it works pretty well. And it really hits you when drinking just a very small amount of alcohol. But to be honest: I think I won't really stay with that. Especially as I quit taking all kind of drugs at this one point (joints, cigs, alc). i might need one of those pretty soon. no cigs. At least that's sure.

    Good decision! Fuck cigarettes! Last month was my three year anniversary of quitting a really bad 10 year cigarette habit. I was shocking...disgusting now that I look back on it. I would smoke in bed right before i went to sleep and as soon as I woke up, in the shower (wtf?), in the car, while I ate....at least 25-30 cigs a day. And being a big drinker and a smoker just made it worse. Chain smoker. So glad I quit first time I tried. Feral things!

    But if I got told I had a year to live, I would immediately drive to a shop and buy packs of Marlboro reds in the softpack and go out in a haze of smoke! I love smoking! I always will. But it's disgusting.

  • No, I pretty much hate it right now. I was a chain smoker as well. But I don't like losing control when being drunk. It's pretty different when smoking joints. I just get relaxed and funny (and hungry ;)).

    Yeah, being stoned is the best. Ohhhh....I'm so hungry right now! I can hear my stomach gurgling around my wine. :? But way too lazy to cook! :lol:

    It's nice to meet a girl smoker. Not many around! ;)

  • Oh, there's hardly anything better. I'm at vocational school right now (its 11am in Germany). No smoking here even though it would make getting through this a lot easier. :lol:

    And I have to leave the internet room in 10 minutes - so no PC and internet for 2 hours!!! Going crazy :twisted:

    No, there's nothing better imo. I think I'll always be a smoker...definitely not full time or even part time once I have kids...but I'll never not be a smoker...if you know what I mean? I'm sure it will get to a point where I may only have it a couple of times a year or even less...at "special" occasions. But I can totally picture myself at 65, sitting there with my late teen grandkids and asking "so who's going to come blow a joint with grandma?" and whip out a perfectly rolled joint! Yeahhhh! ;) hahaha :lol:

    Yes, it does make a lot of crap or boring situations go by a lot easier. Vocational school? Enjoy it?

  • No, I don't enjoy it at all :?

    That's how cool a mom/grandma can be. But I still didn't manage to roll a good one. They always look quite messy and have way too much good stuff inside. So I leave that to my boyfriend.

    I had to give it up for 10 weeks. It was not fun.

    The reports of my tolerance's demise were greatly exagerated though. It was like riding a bike :D

    Don't know how you of the fonder gender go 9 months :?

    +1!! I'm an art student and it's ridiculous, youd think I would be able to find a blazing gal pal, but it's harder than most would think. Most girls just look at me like I'm a drug addict when I ask if anyone wants to smoke before or after class, hah oh well more for me 8-)

    sounds cool, hard to imagine though..
  • I just completed four hours of no drinking. It's been tough.

    Maybe I'll give it up for Lent. Last time I did that I lost about 15 lbs. Yea, probably not gonna happen.

    btw - Congrats!
