Alcohol and drugs. When you are scening, why would you need those? You really don't. If you are scening with an experienced person, they should be able to take you where you want to go, the endorphins are enough of a high and drugs and alcohol will only take away your ability to make smart decisions. If you are under the influence of alcohol, you might have a bad head space, any drug that is a downer might give you a bad head space. If you are on uppers, they might give you a really intense high and then when you come down, you might crash. Alcohol increases your likelihood of bleeding, if you are getting bruised, then that will increase the bleeding under the skin. You are more likely to become dehydrated, when scening it takes a lot out of you and you need to make sure you are getting plenty of fluids in the first place, then when you combine that with alcohol, you might feel even worse the next day.
There are dungeons that allow people to drink while there to play. I do not agree with that policy, but it is there and there are people who think differently than I do. It is my opinion that in order to be safe, you have to be sober.
If you are having issues with drugs or alcohol, you can get help. There are support groups out there to help you. You don't have to feel ashamed and it is in fact a sign of strength to admit that you have a problem and to get the help that you need.
