Anyone else here prefer sobriety?
    #8267628 - 04/11/08 01:20 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

I've quit everything. I haven't had a drink in months, and it's been over a week since my last toke. I can't see myself going back. I am tired of those drugs.

My biggest hurdle in regards to letting go of substances like weed and alcohol is the socialization. It seems like in many social situations alcohol and weed is provided to "loosen people up" and to help people feel more comfortable by providing a buzz.

I will hang with people who smoke and drink, but I notice sometimes I feel a little left out of the socialization, because I'm not in the same headspace per say.

Anyone else here sober? How do you feel about being sober in intoxicating social situations? I personally find the social situation to be enough of a buzz as it is.

(I will still take psychedelics on occasion)

Can't say that I do, I very much like to smoke some pot or have a drink or two,
or three or four in the evening.

Sometimes I do go a week or so without smoking/drinking/psychedelics,
just to put myself back into neutral.

Thanks, I love it too and can't take credit for its lurid beauty; got it online a few years ago at some art website.

on topic: I've definitely been going through some mental/emotional crap since I've been sober. I was using weed like crazy for years as a mood stabilizer, until it started making me feel worse. I hope everything balances out soon though, and I think it will, since I'm still in the detox phase.

What most people call intoxicated I call sober. My brain chemistry is all jacked up. Experimental fertility drugs + lack of oxygen = Resuscitation at birth and scar tissue on the brain.

i'm sober except for cigs.

i quit because drugs made me crazy, so i'm very happy being sober, because now i don't have to deal with being crazy.

its funny the other night i asked my brother why he quit using drugs (i had never asked him before), he said because they make you gay. i persisted and he said because they made him delusional, and he didn't like it.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I met a really cool guy a few weeks ago who is into the whole total sobriety thing (including no coffee, no painkillers, etc) as well as helping the poor and not swearing and all that. He's basically the ultimate Good Person (and I ordinarily hate people like that, but he's just so GOOD that I can't help but like and admire him). I kind of stepped back and looked at myself, and it hit me that I'm doing a lot of negative things without really thinking. Since then I haven't had any alcohol nor have I smoked anything (though I was never a heavy smoker so it's not a big thing) and I've tried to cut back on my cursing too. Not that words are inherently good or bad, but honestly, why do I need to preface anything I say with a negative word?

Honestly, the only intoxicating chemicals I think I will ever take from now on are LSD (at least once, because I haven't tried it yet and I have some in the freezer right now) and possibly E again someday, although I hope I can figure out how to make myself happy enough that I will not want to.

Pot makes it much harder for me to sleep,
my mind wanders a lot when I'm high.
I'll lay in bed for hours and just think.

I mean pot really. I've just gotten in the habit of calling it dope because of the Trailer Park Boys.

That's really interesting guys; I used to have the same problem: I couldn't sleep without pot. And if I slept without it, my dreams were so violent, dark and strange that I didn't see the point in having them.

But when I started having problems with marijuana and then quit, my sleep quality improved DRAMATICALLY. Sleeping feels so rewarding to me now, like I get so much more out of it then I ever have. And my dreams aren't so terrifying anymore; they're still crazy but I am more conscious during them.

It's just weird, how it flipped on me like that.

I can see staying sober for long periods of time, like a week, but I'll probably always be a social smoker and drinker, and by social I mean when I've had a bad day and need to relax

I'm actually a fraud. I'm really the less popular William Baldwin posing as Alec.

Now that I think about it I can't really say I NEED pot to sleep. I've just fucked my brain into thinking I need it

I say screw it all, we are all gonna die. Experience as much as you can and live life to the fullest while your here. You only get one chance. Thats not to say you need to be an ass to people or be a 'bad' person, but why deny yourself the things that only life can offer, good or bad, it's all an experience and there are no do overs. So be smart, be open minded, and use but don't abuse.
