You know what you have to do Monty, it's just doing it that's the hard part.
Good luck!

No I really, really don't. What do I have to do?
Seriously.

You need to become a shut-in, sever all contact with the outside world, except the internet of course
Chop all those cards up too

And stop chopping stuff up with them too.

I wouldn't know what to do with myself, seriously.
I've been hammering it since I was about 14, so literally all my adult life. I think I'd be utterly, utterly bereft. Or a terminal alcoholic.

I'd have to ditch every single friend I've ever had, too.

Just out of interest,
are there any drugs you haven't tried or have absolutely no regard for? Apart from speed. Obviously.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 9:24, Reply)

I've never tried ayahuasca - that's top of my to-do list.
I have tried ketamine twice and hated it. I'm scared of opiates because they're lovely but speed is the most 'not for me' drug out there. I reckon crystal meth would be funny though - a pal of mine did loads of it and went to a strip club in Las Vegas and left 24 hours and about five grand later.

It sounds to me like crystal meth is absolutely the last thing you should ever do
but I will concede that sounds like a fucking good laugh. I've no idea what ayahuasca is. I'm one of those deeply crap drug-takers who found a favourite and stuck rigidly to it for ten years.

If I ever win the lottery
I'll take you to a desert island for 6 months with no alcohol, drugs or tobacco.

I've always fancied doing that.

Most people would love to maroon me on a desert island.
There's a queue, you know.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 9:25, Reply)

I'd be there too!

Then get treatment for addiction.

Dunno it's not like he's hopelessly addicted, it's an integral part of his life though
It's about staying away from places and people. There's also little point in replacing it with alcohol *Taps nose*
( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 9:37, Reply)

This last point is especially true
You won't save any money, but it will make you fat. *Taps stomach*

If you can't stop doing something then it's an addiction.
He's a functioning addict and only that because of his constitution. I know how hard it can be. I've been there and I'm not being trite about it.

Monty! you've had a good time for a good chunk of your life.
Now it's time to start a new part of your life.
( girlinthehole, Thu 7 Apr 2011, 9:46, Reply)

Monty is scared that without drugs he wouldn't be able to laugh off the fact he's a bitter old man with only other bitter old men for friends
He might start appreciating his girlfriend more though.

I'm a bitter old woman and I get by without MDs.
It can be done.

Cut down the spending and up your debt repayments. Sell stuff if you have to.
You're not going to fix this overnight.
