not by choice though its because of an injury. since March 30th i havent drank,smoked weed or done any drugs. ive had a beer or two a few months ago but i didnt feel good so i havent agian. before i was smoking weed every day,drinking 3-4 times a week and doing coke every weekend.

i made this thread because let me say being sober SUCKS and i wanna know how anyone does it by choice. i cant wait until im 100% again(2-3 months) so i can go back to having fun and going out and just letting loose. of course i will be much easier with it with only drinking on the weekends and no drugs but i will be smoking every day again. i miss my greenery and miss my cold beers just relaxing

how do people say sober is better its not at all? its horrible. and fyi i have a concussion so any bad substance that enters me until im healed takes it longer to go away it can take weeks up to a year to be 100% agian

pro's
-clearer mind
-no hangovers
-saved money
-body feels good and got a much needed break

con's
-not much to do on the weekends
-boring
-non social
-becoming sort of a arrogant stubborn a$$hole i dont like the new outlook i have

theres more but i cant think of them right now

I love the feeling.

I used to drink every weekend and smoke bud, cigs.... This whole year I've had 2-3 beers and haven't smoked at all.

after the first month or 2 I felt great:

-wake up early every days
-mentally sharp
-have energy
-focused and just feel more motivated

It really is worth it, the confidence you earn from self-discipline is like a snowball rolling downhill gathering more momentum the farther is goes.

how old are you?

I never let myself ever get attached to any of that stuff cuz I saw dudes in my family and family friends get more and more involved with that stuff. Dudes be drinking all the time and everyday. Whether it's drinking Coronas or Coors Light or sipping on Remy or Johnny Walker Black every night. One of my cousins lost a job cuz of that and he was in the nypd.

No bs, but a part of me feels like I'd have an addictive personality when it comes to that shyt, so I really avoid it. I guess that's by choice. I don't like to feel like there's a possibility of losing any kind of control. Hardly ever drink and when I do, I go for taste :birdman:.
