I am the opposite of lazy, as in COMPLETELY BUSY and overwhelmed with work right now! We are getting ready for a Federal audit of our files (counseling agency) as well as expanding our office and working with clients and groups hour after hour.
Add to that a relationship, and family life, and I am pretty damn busy with life at the moment. But I get here when I can and try to check in even if I do not always post.

yea , i was lazy but now just busy too,
still can be lazy !!
sometimes but always checkin here to see how people are and try and reply to posts,
some of the other forums have people who are there constantly and conversations are going on all day and night,
join lots of them if you want some DS banter, theres loads of them ,
i once tried going through list of all the sub groups but had to give up, as its so long.

Well to be honest I found the same stuff was being said over and over again and got a bit bored with it..but then again I joined years ago, i have breaks from this site but always come back to check things out

Lol...same things said. Try working as a counselor! Talk about hearing the same stories from different people over and over...as well as the same excuses!

In the months since I've joined I've noticed a definite ebb and flow to the place. It's quiet for a while, then things pick up. Sometimes I purposely lay back because there have been criticisms of "the same four or five" people doing most of the posting.
Also, sometimes peoples' questions can be answered by looking at some of the older threads, so rather than re-post the same advice I steer them toward older threads.

Things have also been calm because there haven't been any trolls on here for a couple of weeks, touch wood.

Stick around, things will pick up.

Thanks Tim, for the cheerleading.
I've been checking in on the sight a couple times a day, not always commenting - making sure to keep my sobriety. This is of maximum importance.
I've been on this sight about 40 days and see lots of repetition also, but I am at the point where I totally need to see this constant repetition to remind me of my goals. I do add comments here and there. Though I enjoy reading the repetition, I feel like a broken record if I constantly add to it. But you know, I should add to it! It makes for stronger convictions.
Yesterday was my 50th day without weed! Good riddance! Am constantly on guard though. I actually found myself driving home at 1 am after a show (I'm a live entertainer, yay!), and ran through a list of times and places where I would have smoked in the past. This time, only two of them would have made me want to smoke. (I read a post in the alcoholics group about whether or not "triggers" are real. Without arguing about semantics, I would say that these "reactionary events" are, for me, "triggers" that would bring out my inner latent seeds of craving). One of them is the entire island of Jamaica. Another of them is the company of another specific performer who smokes and who basically helped me get me start with one of my agencies. Those seem to be my strongest triggers.
And I am so not going to argue about whether triggers are real or not, or whether they come for the inside or outside. I know myself, and I know what I allow to set myself off into a reactionary pattern.

One of my teachers says to always make positive action instead of blind reaction.

Other than doing shows every night, sometimes on the road for days in a row, and picking up temp work during off days, and meditating regularly, I've been working on some design and marketing projects (for my career) and not doing such a great job juggling my relationship with sweetheart into the mix.
Yo! That's me.

lol, simple " the entire Island of Jamacia!!"

i like the saying " take posotive action rather than blind reaction though"
never heard that one before its good way of putting it.

Think we need some games on this site, its good way of getting to know each other. we could all post a game each later maybe.

SimpleReal- that is some fascinating stuff about triggers. I bet Jamaica is awesome. My biggest trigger, if you want to call it that, are the mood swings. I go up and down all day and it always crosses my mind how easy it would be to just neutralize it all with some weed. it will get better though im sure.
oh, and 50 days, congrats! I'm a little past a month.

to Sapphire- you bring up a good point. Maybe this place is quiet because people are keeping busy? If so, that is great (until it turns to stress overload, of course)

For most of us keeping busy is a really new thing! It is for me!!!
The threads do ebb and flow, but it is a great place to remember where you came from and where you are going, on gather support along the way!

LOL@Tim.
Well, personally speaking, MY COMPUTER CRASHED and Ive been dealing with that.. but Im here, and still not a lazy stoner (still tend to think like one some days)

i agree completely with you! i get on here looking for support and its not there ha. so i just stopped posting lately...ill try a get back in to it!

Well, I stopped comming in here because there weren't many new posts. Then, I had a little stash of hash for a while, that I only hit 3 or 4 times, but I didn't feel like I should be offering advice when I couldn't help myself.

Also, if you look, there aren't many members in this group, so of course there won't be a lot of activitiy.

Thanks for stiring us up...by the way, I have 2 days no weed. WOO HOOO!!!

Tomorrow is 7 weeks for me..still have the STRONG additude about it. I'm b-polar and totally realizing that meds work alot better w/o the weed. I have been getting so much more accomplished these days..it shocks me sometimes,and makes me feel so proud:) I keep telling myself "I am an addict"..cant just have one..I WILL stick to NONE!!! Am also soo happy about being able to go out and actively look for work and not have to worry about being "tested",since i did go to school last year and will be working in the medical field,which ALWAYS test here in Michigan. I have a magnet I keep in my purse that has my own reminder on the back of it,so if EVER I feel tempted I read it,and so far(I know it hasnt been all that long at all)I havent HAD to get it out. The real BIGGIE for me is when I hit the 4month mark,it will be the longest clean in 24 yrs. And with the attitude i have now...it will be MUCH longer. The only thing i am bummed about is the weight I have put on thinking it was from the "marijuana munchies"...well i think its from my flippin meds I have to take:(( cuz it sure isnt coming off,but oh well at least i can remember the next day what I ate the night before:) Keep up the GREAT work everyone!!!

Well...one of the things we are supposed to do in recovery is stay busy. I definitely have that one nailed. But "down time" is just as important.
Usually I give myself plenty of that, but I admit this weekend was a pretty frantic one. I am feeling frazzled and here it is, Monday, with a very stressful week ahead. We have that Federal audit tomorrow for one thing...arghhh.
Anyway, I am pretty sure that many of us are equally busy!

Matt - that's why I stopped aswell. I mean if I'm still smoking how can I be giving advice to others.

but anyway, it keeps you focused on qutiting
