Can anyone give me some advice on calming down my party life style?

It is getting out of control and it has started drifting into the week where I go out and get drunk.





There is always something on or a friend calls and I just can't say no as I feel like I will be missing out on something and it is just boring staying at home. (In the morning I say that I am definitely not going out but always end up going)





Last week I went out 4 nights! It is not good for my health, both mental and physical but I am single and find it hard to say no.





Anyone got any good advice on curbing my lifestyle and keeping it down to one night a week? Anyone been in similar situation?Can anyone give me some advice on calming down my party life style?
start smoking weed. you wont be bothered to go out then.Can anyone give me some advice on calming down my party life style?
dude i wish i could party like you ;) Report Abuse

getting married and having babies put a stop to my partying!





thing is, you are doing what an awful lot of singles do, so why worry about it. When you find someone to settle down with, things will change and you will miss all the partying, so make the most of it.





Yes, it does affect your health, but you will have many alcohol free nights once you settle down, so i wouldnt worry too much about it.





Im quite jealous actually, the last time I had a beer was 9 weeks ago. Thats what having a family and mortgage does to you!

I had the same temptations when I was young. Now I look back and regret doing some of the things that I did. If you don't want to look back on your life with regrets then start thinking about what you do before you do it. Don't do anything that you would not want to tell your children about, because believe me, they will ask!!





If you have time to be bored, thenyou have time to do volunteer work. While making someone else's life better, it will enrich your own. Volunteer at your local hospital, hospice or homeless shelter. If you don't have any of those in your town, try a Red Cross center or a nursing home, or maybe even a library. It may sound dull but it looks great on your transcripts and on job applications.





Best wishes to you. God Bless.
Maybe get a hobby or develop a new interest at home, start a project that you know you will see through to the end. You could have a dinner party at home, develop some culinary skills....have a card night to top it off. It does get boring being at home most of the nights, but you're right, it can become taxing to your health as well as your finances.
When I was younger (and had a bit of spare cash) I was out 5 nights a week! There's nothing wrong with it if you can afford it.





If you are finding it difficult to say no, then that's a personal thing. You need to improve your willpower.





Like I say, apart from the cash thing, fill your boots whilst you can.
It's about making heralthy choices for yourself so you have a long and healthy life. I'm lucky, I guess I discovered Zen and I love to read and research on the internet. You might consider finding something like a hobby or a chess club, those guys and gals are craze enough, might as well be drunk, hey





I dunno, that's a choice, not a healthy one you are making, and you could easily slip into alcoholism


if you havent already.


God bless, I say a prayer for you good luck
Im still in that situation. I know all it takes is a bit of common sense to stop it. But its just so much fun.


Even today I came into work slightly drunk half an hour late. I honestly cant understand how they still put up with me lol.


Im gonna put this question on my watch-list so i can find out some good advice too :P





Cheers
Have people round to visit you - organise pizza and dvd nights or something, that way you get to dictate what time it finishes, its much cheaper and you can either have no drinks or just a few glasses of vino (which someone else has bought on your bring a bottle invitation!).
get a life
My sister was this way. She moved away with her boyfriend to a smaller town 2 hours away from her friends. That helped instantly, She had a baby a year ago and that has also dramatically calmed her down (I don't recommend having a child though if you aren't in a stable relationship and out if your party ways)





Find new friends. You are obviously an extrovert so it shouldn't be hard to meet new people. Look for people who lead a quieter lifestyle. Then you can make plans with them on the weekends. They don't have to be boring, just look for people who have other hobbies/interests than drinking and partying.





Good luck!!
The first step is you have taken, which is to realize that you have a problem, Next is to talk to your friends about it!





TRUST ME making excuses for why you cant go might result in looseing your friends, so talk to them first.
Knowing that you were out of control and that your health and wealth is on the line is enough.





Eventually, you would start asking for rainchecks and put things to a balance.





you're still young and single, there's nothing wrong to enjoy life at this time.





it would be harder if you start trying to enjoy life when you have a family already.





I was a party animal 9 years ago. had everything from smoke pot, sex, drunk, mild fights you name it.





thank god i'm still alive and kicking. guess i have a guardian angel.





Just balance things out. Know your limitations.





Take care!
find programmes you are intersted in and activities that will take up your time inside


invite people over more and have chess mornings at the weekend
You sound like I used to be. I don't know how old you are but for me personally I started to get sick and tired of the same old pubs, same old people etc. So i think i may have grew out of it. Now I might go out once a month if you're lucky and I always have a great time. PS - If you stay in you're not missing out on anything (apart from a sore head the next day!)
get a sexy girlfriend..
Get married. That will cut down on your social life big time.
I have the same problem, I hate missing out on a night out. The only time I seem to be able to calm down is when I'm in a relationship.
insult your mother :) and she will punish you !
