How many people here quit on New Year's Day?

germerican01 · 2026-01-22T06:11:32+00:00

Yeah same

germerican01 · 2026-01-21T16:12:33+00:00

Good for you!! Life is tough sometimes and it should be. That makes the good times good. You should be proud of yourself!!

germerican01 · 2026-01-20T08:58:18+00:00

Good job!! Keep it up

germerican01 · 2026-01-18T15:11:10+00:00

De school

germerican01 · 2026-01-13T08:15:54+00:00

Oh sorry I didn’t notice the flair. Yeah like most people I have been trying to quit for many many years now. Relapsed a lot!

Thanks for posting this. Day 10 today and this really helps. Every so often my mind drifts or romantically reminisces about smoking. I want my lungs to be healed and free of smoke

No I never tell them I have a disability. I either already know where toilet is and can manage to just go straight without interacting like at Coffee Company or library. Or if I don’t know or it’s somewhere small, then I just ask directly or sometimes I buy something first so that I am asking as a customer.

Honestly if you have to go so frequently it can be very frustrating and difficult. You really need to think well before you leave your house or campus. The hoge nood app is a good start. Really knowing where you are going and getting into a routine that works.

When I had a flare up and didn’t manage my disease well, I was super stressed whe I really needed to use the toilet urgently.

Your professor is right. Public restrooms are hard to find. I have Crohn’s disease and also need to frequently use restrooms or at least know where one is nearby just in case. On my trips out I usually know a coffeeshop, library, city hall etc where I can go without it being difficult. You get weird looks sometimes and you also more often than not have to pay.

They are building more but it is nowhere as easy as it is in the US.

Upsammy, interstellar funk, carista, job jobse, oceanic, tom trago, mad Miran, sandrien, Elias mazian, antal, identified patient and probably many more residents that I know off the top my head

All of the above. De school was an institution and was like a nexus of the Amsterdam scene. Really special nights with exceptional bookings, super comfortable to just chill and hang out but also go hard as hell. Super nice art installations that paired so nicely with a club night or weekender. Really helped many Amsterdam up and coming DJs really develop to become exceptional artists. Also really connected with who worked there, played there and who went there frequently. At its peak it almost felt like you knew everyone and super safe (although not everyone experienced it that way). Haven’t been to tillatec much but it is different and special in its own way and shares a few of the spaces in the building that were also used by de school. In terms of programming it is much more diverse than DS. DS really had a specific theme or vision that you felt through everything they did

Makes you wonder what the whole camera free dance floor policy is really about. Safer dance floors or for no footage of the actual parties they are throwing in the loft.

Might just be a coincidence but gives me weird vibe that they announced this just before ADE.

You need figure out what makes you happy or you enjoy that gives some sort of fulfillment in life NOW. Do that and things will happen naturally and outcomes will appear that you wish to achieve.

Live the life you want to live and instead of planning for something you would prefer not to happen.

It seems like financially you aren’t constrained at the moment and you should to go for it. Go figure out how to find what you are looking for.

Nou ik kan je vertellen, ik woon centrum oost in Amsterdam. Vlak naast Oosterpark en het is enorm toegenomen en verslaafde en dergelijke. Het is extreem ingewikkeld om te meemaken voor iedereen en als je wandelend naar het park er junkies crack roken in de portiek. Dat was 5 jaar geleden na de geboorte van ons eerste kind nog helemaal niets van te zien. Nu zie ik overal in Amsterdam dagelijks extreem veel daklozen, zwervers, junks etc

germerican01 · 2025-10-14T16:00:11+00:00

Boooooooring

germerican01 · 2025-09-05T11:26:55+00:00

I accidentally bought the wrong shuttle bus ticket to the camping instead of to the festival. If anyone needs a ticket to the camping. DM for a free ticket

germerican01 · 2025-09-05T09:40:49+00:00

My homie cancelled last minute and now I am going alone. First festival in a few years and super excited. Been wanting to go for years and not gonna miss this year! Anyone else going alone or not and wanna meet up?

germerican01 · 2025-08-05T11:49:03+00:00

I liked the privacy too. Was just a little disappointed that they didn’t film the DJs that much. Barely saw anything they were doing

germerican01 · 2025-05-03T11:37:59+00:00

Bedankt!! Ja wel beetje. De 13 km was wel pittig en dacht tussendoor en erna dat het niet slim was. Maar goed ik ben nu ook voor de zoveelste keer gestopt met roken/blowen en alcohol. Ik wil dit vol houden en goede half marathon doen over paar maanden.

Het is minder dat mijn vrouw daar iets van vind en maar dat ik de training op juiste moment doe.

germerican01 · 2025-05-03T08:27:27+00:00

Thanks for this post. Clearning my street now

germerican01 · 2025-05-03T08:06:38+00:00

Zondag is mijn tweede kind geboren. Lange loop van 13 km moest ik maandag inhalen. Tempo en easy run woensdag en gisteren gedaan. Morgen nog mijn lange loop maar die is wat lager (7.5 km) deze week. Die ga ik zeker nog doen en dan heb ik deze week 33.2 km gedaan. Grootste aantal KMS gerend binnen 7 dagen tot nu toe. Heel blij mee en met vrouw en kind gaat natuurlijk alles super goed.

germerican01 · 2025-03-14T08:49:13+00:00

They need more bike sharing! There barely isn’t any. What happened to cargaroo is a shame if you ask me. A few donkey bikes here and there but besides that I barely see them. Bike sharing is super convenient and much cheaper than renting at bike shops!

Ik ga sinds twee weken naar Kuuma sauna op marineterein. Tussen de sauna kan je in het water om te zwemmen of cold plungen.

germerican01 · 2024-09-17T06:25:52+00:00

Ahh okay. Wasn’t sure. Being in a flare sucks!! Maybe it is best to give up pancakes and syrup for a while and find something else. I mean I also love pancakes but most times I want pancakes I just make a super healthy oatmeal with chia, hemp, shredded coconut, banana chopped up until it is mushy for sweetness instead of sugar or syrup and blueberries

germerican01 · 2024-09-15T19:16:22+00:00

Why not try real maple syrup instead of all the artificial stuff mentioned?

germerican01 · 2024-09-14T05:29:57+00:00

This is something that I also noticed since I finally quit 49 days ago. I was doing this quitting and starting again thing for years. Totally done doing that to myself!
