EDF. Anon

[Seabag]

I bumped into an ex forum user a few weeks ago, he had around 10k plus posts to his name once

I say ex user, as he announced "It's been 13 months since I last posted!"

And that made me think, could I quit. The answer is quite clearly not, I'm a functioning user

I often see the old guard taking a break, but in time some slip back. But how long can this activity last, will it be forever until we expire/loose the will to live

Is there life beyon ED and the EDF, or is it like bread, milk and honey, is it just the life we choose and need

Who were you before you were Seabag?

...and the rest :)

I don't mind admitting I'm a recreational user. I like to dabble every now and then, mostly during the week. *Bob*'s always good for a quick snort during a quiet spell at my desk, it's my 'water cooler moment' I'm in control though, I know I could just walk away when I feel like it...*sniffs* I once went 8 months without a snort. Didn't plan it, it just happened, got out of the habit. I guess that makes me a habitual user. The biggest problem is finding a decent supplier of speed in the area. I speak to my supplier, an Indian, and he blames it on too many users in the area, they can't cope with the demand. Where's Zammo when you need him?...

I could quit anytime i wanted. Honest.

[holloway]

Just say no

[DulwichFox]

It's so easy to quit.. I've done it loads of times...

I'm onl;y reading this at the moment, not intending to post

[Seabag]

Or make punctuation mistakes

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Its a gateway Forum. I only dabbled years ago. It drew me in and now I'm on stronger Forums. My life's a mess.

[Seabag]

Is there a pretend forum, like vaping is for smokers

Or is that having 'an actual conversation' with someone?

Ow, I've got key board finger tips syndrome

My habit is still mainly laptop based with the occasional tablet session - not gone mobile, that's only for real addicts.

Relinquishing the EDF.

Stage one, preparation. For this you will need one room which you will not leave. Soothing music. Tomato soup, ten tins of. Mushroom soup, eight tins of, for consumption cold. Ice cream, vanilla, one large tub of. Magnesia, milk of, one bottle. Paracetamol, mouthwash, vitamins. Mineral water, Lucozade, pornography. One mattress. One bucket for urine, one for feces and one for vomitus. One television and one bottle of Valium, which I've already procured from my mother, who is, in her own domestic and socially acceptable way also an EDF addict. And now I'm ready. All I need is one final hit to soothe the pain while the Valium takes effect.

I read that like the intro to Trainspotting artful.

OP - who was it? Mockers by any chance? :)

[Louisa]

I go through stages, mostly when I'm bored. Or heading home from a holiday! All the real entertaining posters have departed our shores though sadly, a few good old school contributors still around, but mostly lame goaders nowadays.

Mockers was posting last summer so can't be him, whereas SJ last posted in March '15...bingo!

[numbers]

It was 50/50 RD, I was almost going to suggest Sean! Blimey March last year!! He's done well. Even better if he's managing not to read too!

[Seabag]

"He" has a totally new life now, children, swimming at the local pool, new office set up as a replica of his London desk. So now he's on his own time, not posting whilst at work and busy when he gets home

So he doesn't need us, but he's bang up on CBB's and if I'm honest I felt for him. He was wearing an old track suit, hadn't shaved for a week and had that 'left London' look in his eyes

Poor man, he asked if the Sea Cow was still doing the best fish & chips. I didn't have the heart to tell him it's gone

SB, how can you not be sure by some quirk of a space/time continuum parallax flux, that you had momentarily slipped into Mick's parallel universe? And what you actually witnessed was 'SJ the DJ' just coming back from banging out tunes at an under the arches all-nighter in Vauxhall. Everyone knows what ''Have you got any Peppa Pig?'' really means...

Blimey, add a donkey and it's the Quiet room all over again.
