My longest absense from the scene was about 10 years, but it had nothing to do with engagement or romance or marriage.

With regard to quit punting, while in college, a wise classmate told me this: best (only?) way to quit an addiction is to divert your energy to another hobby that is more healthy n productive.

That's some great advice.

I can think of a few hobbies I can get into but the only one that will take my mind off punting would be playing music in a band. Doesn't help that I can't play an instrument but I've always wanted to learn bass or drums. Wouldn't mind trying some music creation software like Fruity Loops or Pro Tools.

Congratulations Riff. That is great news about getting engaged.

I've been thinking about quitting punting for a while now. I'm not concerned about the cost of punting but the empty feeling I get after a punt. I mean its all fun and I have a great time with the WL, but its that feeling afterwards. Weird thing is that when I wake up the next day, all I can think about is my next punt then the cycle of feelings repeats itself.

I don't know why but punting is addictive. Last week, I punted 3 times. I want to quit so badly.

Punting should just be a hobby, something you do for fun.
That's all it is for most punters. But for some punters it goes beyond that.
If you are regularly punting more than 3 times a week, week after week, month after month, then you probably have some serious issues you need to deal with.
You are probably trying to compensate for something missing in your life, or have low self esteem, or have mental health problems etc.
And if in addition to non stop punting you are boasting and bragging non stop to strangers on a forum about paying for sex then your problems are even more serious.
Get some perspective and balance in your life.
Talk to your friends and family if you have them, or to your GP, or get on to one of these web sites.

Life is a rich kaleidoscope of feelings, thoughts, emotions, friendships, relationships, adventures, and experiences ... and boring daily chores too.
Keep it varied and don't fixate on one thing (no matter how good it seems to feel at the time) and partake of the rich tapestry of life out there ... and in there ... Enjoy!

Just keep in mind that having a GF or wife is far more expensive than punting andyou only have 1 person to choose from.

I had a friend ( married guy )ask me why I waste money punting. I said" look around you, your house, car,mortgage, screaming kids and same life/woman everyday.....you're like a mouse running all day on your wheel to get your food pellet at 5pm when you finish work....etc etc....your paying far more than me". He didn't like hearing that but later agreed.

It's horses for courses a family man life or a mongers life ( some guys in between that ) they both have their good points. No right or wrong answer or being judgemental but mongering/punting is far cheaper imho.

Cheers.

You have been busy today rooter, but everything you have said is perfectly sound. Let's hope 2019 treats us kindly and the dream goes on. Good luck to all🤞

Thanks rooter. I really need to think about my punting even though it's been with 2 regulars, punting more than 3 times a week is not good.

I have decided to take a break for now and who knows it may lead to stopping all together.

It's time for me to focus my energy elsewhere, I hope everyone has a great new year and that you achieve your goals that you have set for yourselves.

I'm not calling it quits but having a break.

Unfortunately found out yesterday at a work meeting that our company is getting rid of a couple hundred position and as of the end of the month will be unemployed.

As cost of living soar in Sydney and mortgage to pay off, every cent I can save will help keep me head above water and until I can find a well paid job again punting will need to take a back seat for a while.

I like to sit in the bath with or without ml/WL . Sometimes after a dinner date where I may or may not have proposed marriage and blow bubbles..

anyone else have an experience they’d care to share ...

If you have a family and a mortgage, it would be imprudent to be spending your money on WLs or MLs like there is no tomorrow. On the other hand, if you're single on a good wage/salary and have no outstanding bills or mortgages then enjoy your life.
