When was the last time you were on a bender?

[Tron]

This last one snuck up on me. Can't get into specifics. Share your stories here. Was it a sick beat? A micro-managing supervisor at work? A relationship gone sideways?

 

[Fu Manchu]

they usually all are interrelated. when it rains, it pours.

Fischy calm down. This is a serious thread. I'm in the midst of one of my all time benders. Going places not many men have gone. Race car flirting with the red.

Are we talking about drugs/booze bender? My last one was from about 1997-2002.

A discussion of causes would be a minor novel.

Fuck off, "champ". Why do you have to come at me?

I may need to get out of town for a week or two to reset. Maybe the worst week ever.

I'm with Muddy on this one...I've been on a bender since I got out of jail in '06. It would seem that you're talking about a minor rough patch in the grand scheme of addiction, which tends to span longer periods of time. I don't mean to belittle your plight, but if your situation can be cured by a couple weeks out of town, then we're comparing apples to oranges. Let me know if you want to dissect it further.

Yup. A "bender" is or was at some point everyday life for a lot of people here.

Never been on a bender. Safe travels.

Muddy I thought you had quited earlier than 2002.

I guess it would depend on what you consider a bender....

Hence, my first comment. A bender to me is being up for three days straight, two eight balls deep, snorting ecstasy, and slamming Belvedere/tonic like it's lifeblood.
