From here on out, for an indefinite amount of time (I'm aiming for a month or longer), I intend to be completely sober.
I may make an exception for a one off dmt session in the coming weeks, but only if I sort my life out. I haven't been stone cold sober for more than a couple of days in so so long that I feel like my brain is melting, I need a change and I need it fast before I fuck up my education. 7 Weeks till the end of semester for me and ideally I want to be stone cold sober until then. I need some self-discipline drastically.
Who else is with me on this (or currently doing something similar)?

Sucks for you dude, I got less than a month till I graduate from college.
However, being sober sounds nice but those damn drugs are just so easy to get and fun to do.

Thanks man .
I figure if I post it here, then in a sense it makes it official.. I'm sure if I announced it to my circle of friends they'd just laugh and pass me a spliff  .

I've been sober for about a month now because I've enjoyed having a clear head to meditate and lucid dream... I'm not sure if I'll ever go back to using drugs with any kind of regularity.

This is where I am at in life right now...Feels good to be sober honestly, after smoking weed all day everyday for a few years (plus lots of mushie trips).
I might smoke a blunt one or twice a month but never again will i smoke like i used too.

It's my overall aim to get a grip on my drug usage, last summer and pretty much up until now has been full on abuse of every kind of substance you can abuse.
I got a big box of poppy pods that I'm gonna drop off at a friends house and gonna whack my mind melting box of assorted mess under lock and key not to be opened until summer (except to add stuff to it).
I want to be able to use drugs responsibly again, not have 1 line of miscellaneous white powder and then go on a 3 week bender ending in a standard psychotic episode. I want to be able to trip without having to have enough benzos to knock out a horse in my system, or be doped up to my eyeballs just so that I can enjoy the hedonistic aspect of it.
I need rules and discipline damnit  .

I'm sober 95% of the time.
An occasional mushroom trip here and there, and ayahuasca here and there.
haven't smoked in over half a year, haven't done heroin over half a year.
i'll go a complete month of sobriety with you, I need a break from psychedelics anyways I guess. :P. 
you got this! You can always PM me for support

Nothing happened last night. So i'm reboiling up the plant matter.
Even though nothing happened, I feel rejuvenated today, so not all was lost
It was one of the most bitter things i've ever tasted, hehe.
I think i'll stick with mimohuasca, and do real ayahuasca with a shaman.

I won't be trippin' on 'Shrooms for a while, because of tolerance reasons. Then I'm gonna have a badass heroic trip, I'm gonna plan some activities, etc. for that day. I can't keep tripping 2-3 times a week, every week anymore, it's fuckin' up my trips with tolerence issues. That's about as far as it goes for me.

I made the same decision just over two weeks ago. I've been completely sober since then and I've benefited greatly from it.

That's quite an achievement .
What do you do to fill the void? This is the problem I have every time I stop "indefinitely", within a week I'm fiending to be altered and jump back on the bandwagon.

After about 6 months of sobriety, I finally felt myself growing up into a better man.
I'm starting to discover a lot about myself, and the universe.
If you give life outside drugs a chance, you'll find it more psychedelic than the drugs themself  .
Perhaps you weren't as addicted as I was, but I dont think that matters. For me, all i cared about was myself, and I lost the beauty of the outside world. And now that it's coming back, it's showing me a true beauty side of it.
I might be a little bit "off" these days, and my views have changed a lot, but life is a lot better now that I don't use drugs. I cried a couple nights ago because of how amazed I am that i've come so far. I didn't think i'd get out of it alive.
Good luck to you Cepheus, I know you can do it. Regardless if you have an addiction or not
