Falling off the wagon.......

Inspired by me and MissB

We're just going back and forth via PM about how we were clean and sober from Jamaica for so long and then one small slip up, now we're falling off the damn wagon.

In a one year period between 2003-2004 I went 3 times. Then I stopped going for 2 years. But THEN someone had to make me win another trip....now its game over. I'm doing it again. Its like a bad relationship with a man that I keep taking back. LOLOL

LOL--- You just had to go and put our business out there for all to see!!!!!!!! Damn... Jamaica is like that 3rd glass of wine... you know you shouldn't do it again but it's just so gooooooood!

I'm quite sure we are not alone in our addiction, JC. But I guess we'll see who jumps in on this one!

Re: Falling off the wagon.......

So the only way to get clean is stop going.... but then what, life just wouldnt be as exciting....

So how was it the years you didnt go? Did you miss it? Or did you eventually not have that itch as bad... Does it ever really go away?

Re: Falling off the wagon.......

LMAO!!!! MissB, in July I won a trip from a nightclub here to go to Sumfest. It was real quick, 4 days, but who cares. That's what made me fall off the wagon. Second time in 3 years I won a trip there.

Shy I feel your pain....lucky for me I can't afford airfare like we have up here. I think its a blessing in disguise cuz my child would be motherless if it were different. LOL

Re: Falling off the wagon.......

Let's just be real about this ****...you NEVER get Jamaica out of your system once it gets in. Some people go and never really "get it" but those of us who do... it's a lifelong thing.

but, shy, to answer your question...it is easier to lesses the GRIP it has if you don't visit ETJ ... which is exactly what happened to me. And within a month of being back on ETJ, I'm totally hooked again.

I have NEVER stopped thinking and dreaming about going back to JA. And I have many fond memories and friends there, so it never really left me. But the intensity is much stronger when you start hanging with all these other JA lovers.

My record what 4 times within a one year period. My first summer I went twice in less than two months. And then in Dec and then in April. I was in love both with the island and with a Jamaican. Silly girl silly girl.

MissB . . . you're so "right on" with your comments! I went to JA 6 years ago and lost my heart. For a year after, JA was all I thought about. I dug my heels in and refused to go back. This past summer . . . stupid me, I went back -- thinking I could go back and it "be different". LOL. Stupid, stupid me. I went in June. I went in August. I'll be there in January . . . and I already know I'll be there in June AND July (Sumfest) 2007!

I don't drink, but JA makes me feel drunk!!! I say stupid things, I do stupid things, and -- the only difference is I remember EVERYTHING and can't wait to go back and do it all over!!!

Re: Falling off the wagon.......

I'm on the wagon right now. What I had in JA is here with me now. Plus, I am recovering financially from those last 14 trips in one year and the phone bills.

I feel the tug every once in while when I think of all the family and friends we left behind. For now, though, the urge is very small and controllable.
