Originally posted by G-Con Nah, going back to someone's house and staying up is linked with taking drugs. When we leave the club, we're all wide awake, chatting away and going to bed is the last thing on our minds so we all go back somewhere together for an afterparty. If I hadn't taken anything, then I'd be ready to call it a night when I've left the club and be tired enough that I'd fall asleep the second my head hit the pillow. Instead, the routine ends up being to leave the club at 5ish, go back to a mates house for a few hours, then go to bed. Spend an hour trying to drift off (even though I've come down a while ago), finally fall asleep, wake up 2-3 hours later still tired but awake, knowing I won't be able to sleep again for the rest of the day. The problem I find with taking stuff is it can become an "all or nothing" situation. I've tried before to just take a couple of bombs then going home straight after the club but it never works out that way. And god help me when trying to reason with myself whilst under the influence... This is why I'm in the position of either learning to take nothing at all or only going clubbing a few times a year...

It can be difficult the first few times, especially if everyone else is doing shit. But you get to the stage where you dont even really think that much about dropping anymore - kinda hard to explain, i guess it happens with age

You definitely have to force yourself to abstain though.

in the crew you go with, being the top dog is about a) doing the most in proportion to how sober you appear, or b) doing none and appearing to stay fresh and on your feet.

you know what keeps you up? learning a few more dance moves. shaking from side to side and bending your knees while fist pumping is the most most people can manage. if you suddenly bust out footwork to and all your body is used to doing is dilly-dallying on teh dance floor then your brain will release chemicals you have hitherto only thought to be synthetic. and then you will rush.

feel the monkey.

Switch to cocaine.

I only party afterhours once a month, and I'll take my drugs. Regular hours 10pm-3am there's no need for me to take drugs, so I endulge once a month.. and every so often when that legendary DJ spins an extended sets I'll go hard..

I personally can't understand how people go to all night parties every weekend let alone both friday and saturday night. I get my fix by going nuts once a month and dancing for 8 hours straight.

I'm the same way dude. If I take 1 bomber I'm taking them all. My bomb usage is like a light switch. On or Off. Once I get started I'll go all night/the next day if I have ready access to them. I prefer leave that switch off because if I go into that mode I know I'm shot for the next 2-3 day easy. Its just not worth it anymore. I have commitments, family events. My friends and family need me. Can't be laying on the couch for 3 days like a tard.

The worst night I ever did was 7 or 8 bombs friday/saturday. This was back in 2006. Still fucked up when I woke up on Sunday. I went to the local grocery store on Monday and tried to go shopping for myself. Not once, but twice, I accidentally walked away with someone elses shopping cart full of food that wasnt mine. The store manager comes up to me, with an old lady standing next to him, "I believe you accidentally took this woman's cart". He was right. Then 5 minutes later in the frozen food isle I did it again but at least caught myself. I got the fuck out of that store and stayed home until wednesday. Never again.

Anyways, sounds like you know yourself, and you're maturing. Probably have a decent job or taking classes. Its time to slow down just go with the flow. The clubs arent going anywhere. Just go a few times a year and leave it at that.

This too. I started taking bboy lessons 2 years ago. The high I get when I leave class is ridiculous. I'm chatty mc-chat chat. Legitimately geeked from the workout and the excitement of accomplishing something. I'm doing a project where I record my windmill progress on video. Once I have them down I'm going to build a compilation and get it up on youtube. I'm probably 50% of the way there. Can only imagine what it feels like to rip it up in NY in front of an audience. Woof!

Originally posted by G-Con About going to good parties, therefore not needing anything... Do any of us deliberately choose to go somewhere average/shit relying on pills to make it a good night? We always choose events that we think will be really good. Whether they turn out to be as good as we hoped is another matter.

Well I went to a thing that I realised i was way too tired to enjoy so was tempted to go home once. Then I took some shrooms, and I completely forgot about being tired.

Fair enough. My point is simply that partying sober requires you to set somewhat higher standards for the events you attend, and that's not a bad thing.

If you get bored with drugs just force them on someone else. Get to know them.

Some good posts, thank you.

I'm going to see Plastikman live show on December 1st. As far as I'm aware this is a 2am finish so this will be a very do-able night without drugs. Won't be easy as we've booked 2 nights in an apartment and everyone around me will be going all out, but if I can't last until 2am at a show like this without drugs and not enjoy myself then I might as well pack up my clubbing stuff, give it to the first pill-poppin 18year old trance head I see and call it a day...

Incidentally, in regards to bustin some new dance moves to keep energised, is it possible to dance to Spastik without fist pumping?
