Addicted to fast living and ever changing surroundings

Any of you ever been like this and then been able to transition to normal life according to society norms.
What age? Did you ever make it periods and then just revert back to the fast day to day living.
(I'm talking about someone with no real responsibilities like wife/kids)

yep, that's exactly the way I am. I became more domesticated once I got married, but have since relapsed several times. I can't help it, because "normal" life is fricking boring.

Ok that's the kinda info I'm looking for. It's like I can get a "cabin fever" type feeling when I'm not living nearly balls to the wall, but for the year I have quit going to bars(except working) and quit drinking and wondering how long it will last.
And it isn't even about just partying. It's about an ever changing surrounding and not knowing exactly what will go down tomorrow, seeing different people everyday I hit the elevator to the streets. Not even the rats race, just ever changing environment that is constantly fluid

Haven't? Should I? Cliffs?
Prom, I'm 31 and I itch for it, but what keeps me in check is I have an amazing female that the relationship is much more important to me than that lifestyle that doesn't usually support.

I always desired such a life, but never could live it. Then, I met my SO. Since then, I was given the opportunity to have that kind of life. I turned it down. It's amazing what having a good women will do to you.

Damn, didn't realize you quit the sauce.

I get that feeling all the time. My kids keep me occupied. But I am in desperate need in finding a new hobby.

Now this is a good thread.
Marriage did not make me change much. Kids probably will, but only to an extent. I will always take friend trips, solo trips, and my wife will always do the same.
No variable should reduce ones individual existence to a distant memory. Much like how children should never reduce a couples' existence together exclusively to parenthood.
There is time for it all if you make it.

Reason I don't think I could live in a less urban setting than Nola. The CBD fits me perfect altho I'm about to move back uptown.

CoCo was a partier too and we both quit when we got together. Or was on the downside. We'll go out and have a good time every once in a while to fulfill that itch, but it's few and far between. We're not weekday parents. We know a few people that dump their kids off every weekend so they can go out.
But yeah, cabin fever is gonna happen. There's honestly no way getting around that. CoCo actually complains about me sometimes because I get figgity here and there.
We are in the gap where our kids are really too young to do with them just yet. (sports, competitions, whatever they eventually get into)

That's great y'all are on the same page and able to balance it.
My GF is 21. She drinks more than me now that I quit it's much more, but I will still go kick it with her places and she drink. Kids aren't in any plans coming soon and I don't see myself buying a house or condo or being in any debt anytime soon....
Just wondering how you guys have done it.... Thanks

Yeah, I just went through a 2 year period of doing nothing but working and sleeping. I hated it because I just felt soulless, and finally quit since I went back to college. I used to wake up and decide to drive to Tunica to do some gambling on a whim, or drive to the beach for a weekend. I would never have plans or reservations, and would sleep(if I actually slept)in the truck if I wanted to be cheap. Just in the wind and never really knew what I was going to do when I got to where I was going. I still do stuff like that but it's just on a much smaller scale. I'm much happier now doing my bullshite little part-time job and going to school full-time. I have plenty of time for a delicate balance of fun and responsibility.

That's exactly what I do now lol, in school and working a little bit. Go out to bars a few times a week, but trying to cut back and save for a trip to Vegas after I graduate in December.

Vegas is an annual trip if I can help it.
Posted on 7/1/14 at 12:21 pm to SuperSaint
Id like to make it that way for me to. Me and my brother both gamble a good bit in tunica and nola, but havent been to Vegas yet.

I have transitioned into some kind of stability, but it's not exactly a normal life. I'm not sure that I can stay in the same place and do the same thing for too long, even if I enjoy it. I still go out and travel a lot, which helps, but it's not the same as living on the road.
Posted on 7/1/14 at 2:05 pm to SuperSaint
I would shoot myself if I lived a mundane lifestyle. Being predictable drives me nuts. Right now, I haven't gone out in about a month because of other obligations, and I get pretty pissy on a Friday or Saturday night.
I cannot ever see myself settling down and having a regular everyday job with a regular old family. It is just boring and I want no part of it

The day I got cleaned up, I stopped desiring that lifestyle. First I quit the drugs but I was still drinking everyday and going out a lot. After a year of that, I stopped drinking all together. A year later I got married and now I have no desire to go out at all. I might drink once or twice a year. I'm happy staying home with my wife and I have several hobbies that keep me busy. Right now is the most "boring" my life has ever been but I've also never been happier.
