Im realizing im never gonna hit my goals or be shyt unless I get sober. some people can do things in moderation but I realize I can't. anyone go completely sober before after smoking/drinking/whatever else? I am looking to start my sober journey funny enough after this bachelor party this weekend.
I’m sober. Had one drink this year and a sip of someone else’s. The fact that I don’t like the taste nor do I like the feeling makes it easy for me

I completely stopped smoking weed in 2018 shortly before proposing to my now wife. The first 2 weeks were kinda tough since there was a dispensary within walking distance of where I lived, but 6 years on I don't even think about smoking anymore and forgot what being high feels like.

Never been a big drinker, but I do enjoy a beer every once in a while socially.

-ish

i went about 3 months sober felt great

then chose to break it for a bday party. now i’ll drink once every few months. Even when i choose to drink i’ll have 1or2 drinks and not really have the urge to continue drinking.

1 day a few months ago i decided to day drink from 6 in the AM to the end of the day like i used to just to see how my body reacts and physically i was still able to drink my normal amount(about 18/24 pack) but mentally thats when i knew that it really wasnt for me anymore and that i had kicked that bad habit for good:blessed:

I have. Alcohol is straight poison. Makes you bloated, fukks your sleep up, fukks your blood pressure up. I don’t smoke anymore cuz it was making me lazy and unmotivated. I feel way better now.

I was drinking heavy every other day and it was catching up to me.
It’s not even just the alcohol it’s the food while you’re drunk, the food when you’re hung over, being hung over, the recovery time. All that shyt just makes you fat and bloated and feel like shyt.

Going on 4 years sober. Life has been 1000 times better, both health wise and professionally. I was a super heavy drinker. I only pop edibles once in a blue these days though, so not 100% sober.
This is what I needed to hear. I know what I’m capable of while I fukk around. Can’t imagine the potential when I’m not altering my mind. I’m looking forward to starting on Monday after this bachelor party.

Some people can drink/do drugs "in moderation" and some people just can't and some people just lie to themselves thinking they're doing it "in moderation"...

I know I can't. That's why I'm full blown sober. I can't have so much as a drop of a beer or toke of a blunt etc. I refuse it when offered and I stay away from people and places where that's all they do. There's no off switch for me. If I drink I gotta get full blown buzzed or fukked up, then it turns into a habit where I'm doing it every day, every other day or every weekend.. I've lived that life and it sucks IMO and it's nowhere near as dope as living a life sober.

I took a vacation in vegas few years ago, I didn't drink but I smoked weed for the first time in years (dispensaries everywhere).. That first blunt had me high as fukk and yea it was fun and all that. But by the 2nd day it wasn't as fun and by the 3rd day I realized all I was doing was chasing that first high feeling when in reality the weed was just making me goofy. Being high is basically being goofy then moody as fukk. Being sober taught me I don't like being goofy/ moody. I like being clear headed me more. Was a miracle I left it there in Vegas and didn't bring the habit back home with me.


I can go on all day about how dope life is as a man when you go sober, in every way.

Probably the best decision I ever made in my life. :francis:

Sober Yoda since 2013.

Feels amazing reaching your true potential in life by not wasting TIME (a non renewable resource) chasing a artificially induced dopamine drip.

My focus went up,as did my earnings,which is crucial in a competitive city like New York.

My circle also changed for the better and I tend to attract like minded people around me.

Once the clouds are removed you can see the sun shining bright,brehs.
