Hahahahaha, my dealer's nice but not that nice! My friend is backing out of having it as she's trying to cut down herself (and isn't drunk now so it's much less appealing).
I might just keep it in for a night I have my friend's friends round (we're planning her baby shower). They all do it and so I could just get rid of it then and just use this period of having it in as the ultimate test.

I've honestly never seen a nicer non-judgemental thread other than the brace babes-thank you for setting it up-been reading from the start this morning x

Hug for ((kinetic)).
Excellent idea to share it around at your friend's party. This is indeed the ultimate test, like the Krypton Factor or World's strongest woman contest. A test of mental agility and endurance Grin

kineticmagnetic · 13/03/2017 12:54

I bloody love the krypton factor.', only s find to cash cab. Does anyone else know cash cab?! Used to be on at about 4am on a random free view channel-was my ultimate keep me company program when I was high alone!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/03/2017 13:05

Kinetic faces the ultimate test on the Krypton Factor, the resisting cocaine challenge..

All eyes on kinetic as she starts to sweat. She's picked up the bag but will she crumble? This is tense. Hang on, what's this? She's put it away and has started to tidy up and Hoover instead! What an amazing display of distraction techniques, this is incredible! The crowd are going mad, she has some supporters in the audience today.

I've just bloody swept the paving in the garden! 1 hour 23 mins to go! X

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/03/2017 13:10

Now she's sweeping the garden. We've never seen anything like this on the Krypton Factor before!

kineticmagnetic · 13/03/2017 13:23

Alphabetising the dvds... tempted to leave the house early but the only place to go would be the pub! Stupid world!

kineticmagnetic · 13/03/2017 13:46

45 mins to go, downstairs is spotless, upstairs is a state but that's where the bag is and I am on the edge right now. Wish I hadn't put 4 stone on (quitting gear and antipsychotics)-could go for a run if it didn't kill my knees now.

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 13/03/2017 13:57

Kinetic I look at it like this, if I'd already taken that 120 worth of stuff the money would be gone anyway and id had a really shit one down to boot. So if I just throw it away, yes I will still be 120 down bit won't of had a comedown. Either way the cash is gone.

kineticmagnetic · 13/03/2017 14:08

My friends will pay me back for it if they have it x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/03/2017 14:12

You're doing well, kinetic but yes, get it out the house as soon as you can! Maybe drop it over to your friend?
Then you can relax and you could spend some of the money on a lovely treat for yourself as reward Smile

kineticmagnetic · 13/03/2017 14:26

The friend who said she'd have it is trying to quit/cut down so I don't want to put her in the position of having it.

4 minutes left at home and not back until tomorrow morning m, another day done :)

serialtester · 13/03/2017 18:40

Good work kinetic. whether you throw the bag away or snort it, it's still £120 gone. Personally I think you should bin it. And then come and sort my house!

Kinetic you are officially a rock star!

Well done, I'd have really struggled with that, you've done amazing

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/03/2017 19:02

I agree Pickle. Wild horses wouldn't have stopped me once it was right there under my nose (so to speak) Shock
I don't think I've ever changed my mind after the transaction, throw in a complimentary wine and they'd be no going back for me!
I am just a bit worried the offending bag is still there..beckoning.

Based on today's events..
Star Kinetic you have won this evening's balls of steel award.Star

Hope all you rock and roll surfers are riding the tide this evening.
Waters are fairly calm in the world of Lost. In fact I might go and sit in the drug free smug tree Grin. A beautiful tree on a sunny desert island, surrounded by blue choppy seas. .

serialtester · 13/03/2017 19:15

If I had it in the house it would be GONE! Kinetic is our poster girl for will power!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/03/2017 19:22

Cool, are we having poster shots?

Serial you can be in the poster too, Bishop of the surfing kingdom, holding holy wine.
Counsellor Pickle can be at the front looking sympathetic and all us surfers will be in the background looking glamorous in red wetsuits.
We'll take our armbands off for the shoot. Smile

sundaymorningbringsthedawnin · 13/03/2017 20:16

Blimey kinetic I am in awe of you, as demonstrated on this very thread my powers of resistance are pretty much non existent. I am however, currently perched on the drug free smug tree and feel a whole lot better for it. Here's hoping that will continue over next weekend!

serialtester · 13/03/2017 20:17

I think we should go somewhere really exotic like western super mare for the shoot.

OP posts:
Inarightpickleandchutney · 13/03/2017 20:19

I'll just contact my stylist, and book in a blow dry!
Lost you can do the nails!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/03/2017 20:30

Yep, I'm thinking Western Super Mare or possibly Bournemouth. We'll be all windswept and gorgeous from clean living and probably freezing our tits off

serialtester · 13/03/2017 20:35

Asking for a friend, does clean living involve giving up wine and fags?

OP posts:
ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/03/2017 20:47

Serial please tell your friend just keeping your nose clean is enough to parade around smugly telling everyone you're clean living.
