How bad does drinking, shrooms, and partying affect a boxer?

[Zarco]

Just an update. I will no longer be following this path. **** that. I dont know what I was thinking I got caught up in the moment. All of that just isnt for me and I am stronger than that. Thanks for the comments dudes.

good thing to see your decision

Everyone forms their attitudes to drugs, alcohol or whatever from their own experiences.

When I was seventeen I was forced into a week of total sleep deprivation and a part of my brain permanently shut down. This was entirely non-drug related but almost everyone else I've met who has the same problem, got to that point from drugs. Some were into them hardcore and others had simply smoked their first joint.

Now I have no personal investment in the lives of people on this forum who want to take drugs, drink or **** around. My experience is my experience, and many could get through life doing this **** without noticing a problem. But the people who think that straight-edge people are lying or boring or not man enough, you need to open your eyes and see the world.

I don't take drugs because they will kill me. Simple. I have a hard enough time functioning as it is without ****ing myself up even more. Most people don't realise this cause I hide it well, and they weren't around for the couple of years when I couldn't walk. I train harder at boxing than most, because I have to do that to get the same results as someone else.

But I guess there is a positive side to everything. My senses don't work in the way they are supposed to and for some freaky reason I can't feel it when someone punches me.

a week of total sleep deprivation

I can't feel it when someone punches me.

The short version is that I left home really young and was working shift work overnight and school during the day.

Yeah, getting hit is my strength in boxing. I've actually had to focus big time on my defence because I just forget to do it lol.

yeah, i learned the hard way. i think some people are genetically prone to getting problems like that, while others are ok.

we need sleep for a reason, i think that's why sleep deprivation works so well as torture

Wow I can't believe you could stay up for a whole week. Most people who do that kind of things are on a massive bender, glad to hear that your ok from it.
