I'm doing 23 things
Looking back I’m not sure why I ever did. I stopped after New Years 2011. I had a couple of pints back in summer but I’ve been bone-dry since and I have no intentions of ever going back to drinking. It’s expensive, embarrassing and handicapping. It’s awful for my depression and my waistline. If you manage to stop for 2 months, I recommend stopping forever. It absolutely hasn’t stopped me from going out with friends who drink and having a wild time with them.

I saved up for the ticket and bought it online, packed all my shit the night before and then got a lift to Donnington with my friends. It's a pretty easy thing to do. After that I started going to festivals in Europe which is slightly more difficult but if you've got experience spending a day just travelling then you've got all the experience yo… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Work, friends and real-world interaction. I first became 'depressed' during my time at University, which ended over a year ago. Towards the end I became ridiculously miserable, locked in my bedroom living 36-hour days. I was unemployed, alone and completely isolated. It was, at times, the most miserable experience of my life.

So yeah, definitely scared and intimidated during the trip, but afterwards I recall it as a good memory and an experience worth having. Smoke that shit up!
Yeah, so… I smoked and got high. It was the most amazing experience of my young life thus far.
So, for the record, I’d definitely change my vote to “worth it” if I could. It was radical.
