Raving/clubbing - what made you finally stop going?

That's it for me. A good night on pills costs me days of harrowing serotonin depletion. I had a mammoth bender a couple of years back that killed it all off for me - a week of feeling suicidally depressed made me decide to pack it in.

A few people round and a few beers makes me equally happy these days.
 
i don't think i'll make a major decision to stop tbh - i think it's already happening naturally. i go out and do that kinda *stuff* a lot less than i used to, and am more picky about where i go (i used to just rock up anywhere for the sake of a nice nutted night)

yeh, and i'm with those who say it takes me longer to recover too.

not me yet, and I don't get depressed comedowns, just ratty ones, though it does massively fuck up my sleep. I reckon if I didn't drink or do anything stronger, I'd probably sleep fine.
 
I want to do so many more things that involve time and some commitment to them. Plus the drugs stopped working pretty much, and I'm glad tbh :D
 
i hate the waste of a day that often goes with partying. yeah, you might have a wicked night out, but then you get home, go to bed after a while, sleep, get up - ooh it's sunday evening, work tomorrow, great!
 
I reckon you youngsters were taking the wrong drugs - it was purely ganja cookies and water for me. In my late 30s I was dancing till dawn then walking home. I combined my raving with extra cycling, and lifting weights twice a week.

"free your mind and your body will follow" .. or summat ...

Could never see the point of stimulants - I'd always assumed it was about synaesthesia, but for most people it appears to have been about staying awake. :confused:
 
it's about dancing whilst off your nut and talking shit afterwards, which certainly does involve staying awak

Me too. He's fucking brilliant - sort of music where you come out with more sweat than clothes on :D

MDMA literally knocks me out and I haven't had a good pill since Bloc Weekend in 2006. Indeed - I've had too many bad ones since then and I haven't had any pills at all now for a year and a half. They make me gouchy :(

I think if I had a good one I'd probably like it - I'd be excited to have a couple of really nice nights on e's this summer at a festival or two.
 
Reckon '95 was my golden year of going out every weekend and getting very wasted. At the age of 42 I just can't hack it anymore, the Wednesday blues would be a killer now too.

Do miss it a bit to be honest, but priorities are different now, living out in the country and being married. :)
 
Me and my gf used to neck some speed, then go out clubbing.

What made us give it up was after we'd been in the club about half an hour and the speed started kicking in, we couldn't wait to get back home for sex, and we would often ring for a taxi pretty much straight away.

It was costing £50 for half an hour.:mad::D
 
3 years of battering it every weekend left me with horrible psychosis/suicidal self loathing and worsened the PTSD I was still suffering from at the time

I really REALLY miss it though. I don't think anything's beaten a few good pills and dancing my arse off for hours.

Do like to have a couple of pills at festies, but the last lot I had just wiped out my saturday night so I'm a bit hesitant now.
 
Loved the music the lasers and what not!
Just got bored of the journeys home and the following day spent huddled up and paranoid not being able to sleep and still tripping my arse off until well past lunchtime.
Plus wife and 2 kids doesn't exactly fit in with aclubbing lifestyle! ;)
 
Meeting girl who has a kid, not being able to get babysitters so often and all my friends getting old.

I still want to go :mad:
 
must say i was never into 'raves' as the ones in Scotland back then were just crap and more about stabbing folk in the face with apple corers than 'living in sweet har-mon-eee" but going to clubs most nights is as much a part of me as breathing oxygen.

however stopping going to proper 'dance' clubs was pretty much a result of the music being all pretty shit that you'd hear out around early-mid 1990s ; either shitty trance garbage or jeff mills/robert hood-esque minimal dullness.

also, i only like going to clubs where's there's a high possibility of hot euro action and unfortunately the better the music/DJ in most house/techno clubs, the less chickolitas. :(
 
well i generally stopped because it stopped being fun. though i come out of retirement from time to time *prepares ffor bangface*
