The Sobriety and Abstinence Thread

Fair point. A lot of those old, public school puddings don’t exactly call out to me. Semolina doesn’t have a ring to it…

I hate alcohol.
I hate apples especially in pie form.
Intimacy makes me uncomfortable.

That said, I am confused as to what this thread is about…

It’s about nothing and yet it’s about everything. It’s one of those special threads.

So like religion, but without hell.

I can relate partly to this, I waited myself. But this was not due to consequences, as these are dependant on … well how you participate shall we say.

What I would say, for me this is, it was important I found someone that I could relate to and love. This made it something to be cherished.

Oh I beg to differ. I think my OP was VERY clear.
You know what else is clear?
CRYSTAL PEPSI!!!

In fact… Crystal Pepsi is a perfect metaphor for this thread.
Consider… Crystal Pepsi… and all shall be made clear…

Abstinence is ment about sexual activity? Weird, in german the word is used for any kind of controlled…well…abstinence from whatever.

But yes, I´m abstinent from peas, cuttlefish and corned beef in both ways of meaning.

It’s more a case that the word is most commonly associated with that

It wouldn’t be weird to say that one abstains from anything, usually a vice like gambling, but abstinence on its own has come to mean ‘not getting your groove on’

Lmao thanks for clarifying

It means that here too. Refraining from any one thing in particular. But people commonly use it in reference to sexual activity

Though as smoker I might be worse than a drinking harlot. People react often shocked and move away like I´m cancer incarnate when I tell them.

And SUDDENLY they smell it then, when we talked for hours before and I´m sure they had fully functional noses during these conversations…God I hate people sometimes -.-

Yours was more succinct :wink:

@Ganjamira I traded in my cigarettes (mostly, I’ll still have while drinking around people with them or during debates/elections…) for vaping

I feel sooo much better now, and cigarettes smell like nasty nasty butt to me now. It might be because of my past use, but I can tell a usually smell a smoker from a mile away

If it feels good, I do it.

If it feels bad, I abstain.

A lot of things feel good.

I do a lot of things.

Ok I just had a panicked moment where I wondered whether the guy who asked “how are you today?” at the supermarket checkout actually meant “why are you buying this much wine”
