Anyone else go completely sober cold turkey, and surprised how easy it was?

[born of fire]

it’s a lot easier for me to quit weed than it is alcohol. i hope i can stay completely sober this time around

Weed was a rough week or so, after that the clarity sets in and it gets really easy.
Alcohol was more about getting through the first few social situations/parties/concerts and finding out they are not any less fun without alcohol, and if they are its better to go home instead of taking a drink. After that it's all good.

I haven’t drank alcohol since the summer of 1993

I had this conversation with a dude on Twitter. I can't get white boy wasted. I never lose my awareness.

A racist country singer sung a song that somebody else wrote for him, "that the memories drown the whisky". That's pretty much my problem.

So I don't know what I'd ever go dry.

As soon as my brother gets up to get ready for work, I'm pouring up.

Yes 445 days sober. I was a real alcoholic I posted about it before on here. But the night before I quit cold turkey my friend (who I stayed at his house for like a week cuz I got kicked out the house) made me mushroom tea and ever since then I have never too a drink or thought about it. I was a stupid alcoholic hiding my drinking from my girl almost lost my family from that shyt.

I only drink when I go out so easy for me to go months without drinking, especially in the winter.

Half a bottle of wine ain't much. Try going cold turkey after drinking at least a 6 pack a day for 5+ years. Couple years nikka was pouring up at least half a liquor bottle almost daily. I tried, not thinking withdrawals would affect me much, and it didn't take long for me to realize how wrong I was

I was going say this. Half a bottle of wine? And a box a week? That’s just discipline. You wasn’t no alchy

I rarely fukk with beer/alcohol, so I can toss it in the bushes whenever. Weed, I'm a moderate smoker. If I smoke for 2-3 months I usually get an itch for a day or 2, but nothing major.

Completely sober. I used to smoke weed & drink heavily. Found that alcohol is worthless. It robs you of a lot.

I was a heavy drinker for years and would smoke weed on and off since becoming of age. Haven't had a sip since March and haven't smoked since last November

The weed was the easiest to kick - after the initial withdrawal symptoms it's a breeze. I realized I smoked because I was bored.

The alcohol was tough, not going to lie. Would probably down 2 liters of vodka every three days. I talked to a good friend early this year who is a recovering alcoholic and realized I was down the same path. I looked in the mirror and saw I had the classic alcohol bloat in the face and body. Challenged myself to a month of no drinking and eventually just kept riding the momentum. Biggest challenge is going to get through football and holiday season without drinking. I think I may skip football season this year...

When I wasn’t working, and I was single, I would get up at 5am, drink, and listen to music for about 2 hours. Then I’d eat breakfast, go back to sleep, wake up, drink again around dinner time until I went to bed. I ate dinner at 5. And when I was taking gummies, I’d be on them nonstop.

Haven't drank since NYE 2021. Haven't smoked in the last 3 months. It's only easy after 1 month without because alcohol and weed are ingrained in american culture especially alcohol.

The drinking is easy, tbh. I’m not a fan of drinking anymore unless it’s really small amounts. The whole drinking to make me more social isn’t fun.

Weed, though, I have to have something to do in order to not fall into the habit. Basically, if I’m not literally taking a trip, working or active with my body, I try to activate my mind with weed.
