Going to nights sober

[oski]

yeah done this
it's helpfull not to go with friends who are off their tit
i find i run out of energy faster but other than that it's pretty similar

[2manynoobs]

sober raving is where its at.

pure vibing off the music.

been there. its a good feeling.

yeah that's a great feeling! Feeling the vibe 100%

[kay]

That said, chewing my face off and staring lovingly at lasers when Tectonic took over The Arches on my birthday last year was quite a special night! Those were DEFINITELY good.

But what worries me is that I don't think I can "just" have a few beers.

3 turns into 5.

5 turns into 10.

It probably doesn't help that you had at least 5 pints before you even got in!

pretty much 98% of the time Im sober.

I live really far from town and all my mates live in different places so its usually a case of driving in or drinking and spending 25+ for a taxi home. Dont know about you but Id rather do the driving option.

To be honest I prefer being sober. Once I get into it I get so much vibes off the music.

When I used to go out when none of my mates were into dubstep Id have to go to the comersh clubs (Revolution, Walkabout etc) which I hated and I wouldnt dare set foot in anywhere unless I was hammered.

After going to dubstep events I can do 'completely sober' becuase its about the music and I still have a sick time. My mates think its pretty sad that I dont drink all the time. Its not my fault their not comfortable with themselves.

I think there's an optimal level of fuckedness, where you've done enough to loosen any social barriers but not overdone it so much every song sounds the same. I think a couple whiskeys sound a good idea, it's just avoiding any powders half-way through the night when you've lost some of your common sense.

i used to have that problem!! any other notts heads will tell you about the messy days at blueprint. i'd go to the club with 2 pills, be all good till they kicked in, end up at a house party with half a g of ket and 4 more pills. next thing you know its 2 inthe afternoon and your in a room with strangers with no idea what you did or what you listened to. once i learned to say no, it all leveled out.

one thing that sorted me out was the lack of good pills. once that shit started and i had a couple of nights ruined stressing about where to get pill, then buying some gash in the club, i stopped being so bothered. nothing like bad drug experiences to put you off drugs!

[nicenice]

I stopped taking uppers at raves after dub police last October I think? Had mephedrone (I'm not a user, but pills couldn't be found) and ket and the night was a blur and talking to people was awful. After that I went to some small night in Brixton, done that same with what I had left. Ended up almost K holed on a bus in Crystal Palace when I was meant to be in Ealing. After that I had to to Deadly Rhythm sober and I actually enjoyed it more then I expected. Since then I've only been really high or marginally drunk and its always been enjoyable.

[Shae]

It's been a week and a half for me since I smoked that last fat absoultely fucking beautiful joint, however I'm doing fine, I'm goin out saturday but I intend to drink, I've been out sober before I kept dwelling over it, the fact that I should be high and wasn't really annoyed me and I didn't enjoy the night, i was just a moody bastard stood there... I rarely drink tho, but when I do I usually get my skank on like a dickhead and make a prat of myself... I'm glad I'm quit the green though, I can actually function in a morning now, I have a decent breakfast and prepare myself for the day alot better...

BIG UP!

[ohmydays]

Think i am going to be joining you sober heads from now on.

I think the first one or two nights will be pretty strange coming to terms with what you actually do instead of gurning hugging the bass bins but after the initial settling in period i think it will be refreshing. Especially as most the time i go out it is for the music so it's unlikely i'll be standing around bored like i once imagined.

Finished blazing as well, i used to think it didn't effect me much especially the next day but i found that i was less talkative and social for few days after i quit.

Shouts to the sober heads

[nicenice]

I've never really seen the appeal in pills at raves. When your there everything goes so slowly but as soon as you leave the whole night feels like it was 5 minutes. I think weed at raves will always be the one. Vibesin like you got the rest of time ahead of you.

I've been thinking about this a load since DMZ last weekend.

I literally can remember fuck-all of the night. Well, bits and peices.

But it can't remember who played what and how banging or otherwise they were. I just remember flashes of "oh yeah I saw Joe Nice" and shit like that, and I'm afraid that I might have just spent most of the night in the smoking area chatting codshit.

But what worries me is that I don't think I can "just" have a few beers.

3 turns into 5.

5 turns into 10.

Alcoholism. I have it. Had to stop before it stopped me. Serious.

yeah hold tight the cold turkey massive, fuck everyone who says weed's addictive.. you jokers, I've smoked it everyday for like 3 years straight, before that for 2 years at weekends n stuff.... quite a week last sunday and not had no withdrawals, not even had any restless nights sleep... so

night anyway ninjas

[Pistonsbeneath]

not drinking i can safely say boredom ensues after a fairly short time regardless of the night im at

[.onelove.]

i used to have that problem!! any other notts heads will tell you about the messy days at blueprint.

i live about 5 mins from the old blueprint club, it closed before i arrived in notts tho.

i reckon ill be able to enjoy a night once ive gotten into it as long as the set is good enough, for instance i know theres not a chance ill be able to stand Doctor P sober, but i shouldnt need anything to feel Kode 9 at Wigflex a week later.

Fuck it, theres more to life than getting off your tits.

[miscreant]

In fairness yous must have some pretty good mates if you can still be friends with them and drive them around while theyre pissed up and your not.

I know that when I'm pissed and my friends are sober I fry their brains, as have they any time I've been sober. I dont mind driving somewhere, them getting pissed on the way then ditching the motor and joining them but bollocks could I stand a whole night of them acting the tnuc and making me out to be a bore because I'm not stooping the the drunken lows that we all reach after a night out.

[Arjun]

I've done a few sober nights when funds were lacking. I find that it's all good if the music is good, but if not I don't enjoy it as much. The only bad thing is I seem to get tired a bit earlier when sober.

[amick]

Going out sober with a group full of drunk friends is like getting popcorn at the movies and secretly someone put some popcorn in their mouth, put it back into the box and you pick it up and eat it.

Ruined.
