I once had this "situation"
I was 21 and outside of a NIN Concert and I had a quarter ounce on me when this "uniformed" person comes over to me asking me what I have in my pockets and what-not. About that same time, two guys start fighting on the other side of the parking lot. The "Uniform" looks over there and (no lie) stays with me to harress me a little more. 3 of his buddies take off running towards the fight and one of them screams "Scott....get your dick out of your ass and come help us!"
That pretty much was my sign that it was time for me to give it up! I was spaired because of two drunk idiots!!!
P.S. That Scott "Uniform" guy, I saw him about 11 minutes later with a HUGE shiner from breaking up what ended up being a 5 person melee from the original 2 because he was late getting over to help. Now THAT'S Karma!

So this week is my halfway point! 7 weeks down, and 7 weeks to go. 7 LOOOOOOOONG weeks, the way the calander looks, its will be on around the 20th of April . . .lol.
Worst part is being around friends when they are, especially when we are drinking.
Move to Canada dude. We really don't care about kitchen spices up here, and you can even marry another dude if you so choose (you probably won't, but it's nice to have a choice isn't it?)
This landmass is also called Massachusetts.
Oh, and every once and a while, i embrace Clarity for a week or two at a time, just for the hell of it. It's true, that first time after being dry for a while is amazing.

I had to do 40 hours of classes!!! Total cost me close to 10 g's. But when they brought up the possesion to the judge, she literally looked at the prosecutor like you're fucking kidding me right? Throw it out. So no pee checks, for me.
You'll probably just end up drinking more and getting into more alcohol related trouble since you can't smoke. Great system, huh?

Been cloudy for a few years like yourself, and had to stop for about 3 weeks. Honestly I still have trouble getting a good nights sleep, and it has only enforced my opinion more that firing up is 100% harmless. If I were in your position, I'd pee clean for them the first few times to get them off your case, then bust out a bottle of fake piss for the rest of them.
clarity can be nice... as many people have said. it's nicer to decide on experiencing that clarity yourself, but seven weeks isn't so bad. i enjoy a reason to stop occasionally...
on a side note: i always wanted to live in massachusetts, all the more reason to head north. except it taking another five hours to get to Roo!
ugh, sorry sir. i had to endure the past six years by abstaining from all that is corn.. The military and their authoritative uniforms act the same way about art and kitchen spices... who'da thought?!
i do agree with most, a clear head is surprisingly nice
Mike, I hear you. The Newark cops got me recently as well. Be strong!
Eff those money hungry newark cops. Did they get your for corn?
And yeah, i'm bein as strong as i can be. its haaaarrrrrrrrrrrddd
I got busted for DUI, but got off with an open container offense because the cops didn't bust me on a public road and illegally search my vehicle while I was handcuffed in the cruiser. Thank God my friends were taking video of it from their apartment. I still had to do the classes and everything, tho.
i'm in a similar situation, although it is partly voluntary. since august i have been foggy twice and definitely the two biggest differences are money and tolerance, my two experiences were ridiculous, hadn't been like that since i started in about 2000. it's nice though that i was able to straight away buy my ticket and rv rental for bonnaroo this year. and i will be taking a break for that weekend so it should be a fun time.

Ugh, I got in slightly less trouble on the way down last year.
This quacking idiot wookie kanye we went with was speeding a little, got us pulled over, admitted to there being some kitchen spices in the car, and the cop gave me a ticket because he found some spices in my quacking bag. Driver got a warning.
I had to pay $1,500 just for a lawyer so I didn't have to go back down for court, and then got hit with an $1,100 fine for just a tiny bit of spices! Not even that much!
quackers. I have till December to pay it off but I already got a Bonnaroo ticket for this year and decided to just look for spices on the farm. The cop who wrote me the ticket told me it would be cheaper if I got it on the farm too. He was a bastard.

I've been clean for 4 weeks now. Co-op positions for engineering.
+ my bank account is steady - I miss the munchies + I don't skip my classes anymore - I cry myself to sleep every night + clean piss=more cash - temptation sucks

Those darn spices got me in trouble in December! I was just trying to spread some holiday cheer! Anyhow...my last DT, June 5th! Can't be happier to be done right before ROO!!! Lol I have actually not found anything to do more producitve with my time though.. still working on that one.
I had something similar haoon last November, the week of my birthday Didn't get into the program until just a couple of weeks ago. Only 3 months, so that's a plus. And I had a head start. It's already been 3 months for me corn--free (after about 6 yrs daily) and it was really easy to stop. I'm not any clearer having stopped or anything; I'm actually pretty indifferent.
It is nice having extra cash though. I've picked up a pretty heavy tshirt addiction actually.

Yeah I was waiting to suddenly get more witty, remember everything, and feel so energized after daily partaking for a few years. But sadly, I just have nutty dreams that don't last long because I can't sleep as well, and my temper flares up more than normal now. It's a real shame more states haven't loosened up.
Oh yeah, and I also ruined whisky for myself for a little while. Not enough corn, too much bourbon.
Doesn't Obama want to make spices less criminal or something?
Nice to see a fellow Cincinnatian
I've been corn free for 3 weeks as part of a personal 6 week challenge. I really haven't noticed any major changes. Just harder to fall asleep and my life seems a little less boring now that I'm not living as a criminal.
I completely forgot about that! I do drive around a little easier now that I'm not worried about a posession charge everytime I get behind the wheel.
I actually got pulled over for rolling through a stop sign last week and I didn't have to worry about the cop seeing or smelling anything he shouldn't have. I usually don't partake in corn in my car but I usually have something stashed in there that could get me in trouble.

billlclinton, 1st paragraph, same here. Ive been waiting, but annoyed. Its just the dreams, thats it.
The only Clarity i'm experiencing is im my dreams. Its the only difference. My dreams are real clear, and real weird.
I had to go no corn for nearly a year for similar reasons. Its weird, but i remember having some pretty strange dreams as well. Some were so odd that i started to do a dream journal. One strange dream i remember was just walking underneath all these bridges in the water with a friend, weird right?
I passed the a lot of the corn free time by reading. It just made the days go by faster.
And the day i was free from it all and able to have corn? April 20. How great is that? Made it just in time! ;D
