Trying to change concert going culture in a decade?

Aren't recovering people not supposed to frequent the same patterns?

Now granted..it would be nice for them to enjoy music in an environment not of temptation, but if they were at the same venue a year or a couple of months back..."Partaking in the Party"....
....wouldn't it be just slightly hypocritical to come back righteous as a reformed whore?

Insanity - frequenting a place of known behaviour, expecting a different outcome.
This was a good answer.... unfortunately, not to the question.

Clean and sober here since 1981. Yep, people smoke dope and drink at concerts, get over it or don't go.


But for God's sake don't smoke a cigarette, they will thow you out!laugh laugh laugh
Yes, I attend alcohol and smoke-free concerts..... if i wanna have a cigarette,i'll have to be courteous and considerate to others as well....... i go outside, away from other concertgoers....

I think the answer i was looking for, from everyone was: maybe all concerts should be (every type of)smoke and alcohol-free.....

... but i was also interested in seeing what type of reasons and excuses people would come up with as well....

After a lengthy recovery, the clean and sober addict usually becomes more considerate of others, through the step process....

Having to avoid pot smoke and consumption of alcohol is just the consequence of your choice to consume them and be addicted to them in the first place. If that means you can not or should not attend certain venues or live in certain environments so sorry Charlie. If someone is breaking the law then you have the right to complain to the community where you live and disallow their freedom to use the public venue. If concerts were boycotted or artists could not perform in certain areas by being and attractive nuciance to criminal behavior then artists would insit on drug free venues. That is unlikely.

What do you think of people who openly smoke pot at concerts, amphitheaters, etc.... without regard to recovering alcoholics and drug addicts, in attendance, who should not be inhaling that smoke?


Do you even know the statistics of smoking pot and remission of other drugs/alcohol?
Yes, i've LIVED those statistics... now, that wasnt the question

so what you're saying is that anyone smoking pot at a concert should think first about recovering addicts? most concert venues i go to serve beer and wine...is that inconsiderate to recovering alcoholics? i don't necessarily agree or disagree with your post, i really don't care, but the point you used didn't seem to justify the means.
Recovering alcoholics have a heck of an easier time staying away from alcohol than they do smoke floating thru the air.....




okay, i'm quoting a recovering addict as i type..and he says, it is for him to conform to society as society has been there all along, not vice versa in his recovery. just sayin'...
flowerforyou Dear, i'm just asking for input thats all.... but as long as youre mentioning that society.... has THAT type of society really been there all along? The society of recovering people has been around MUCH longer... maybe OTHERS should conform to them....
