anyone here completely sober or has gone sober?

[Tommy Lee Jones]

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-ish, but I slip up every now and then, but compared to a few months ago I'm doing a lot better.

You'll just end up replacing it with something else, but best of luck to you. Maybe look at somethin you use to do when you were younger and invest your time and money in that.

I was never a drinker or a smoker, just here and there myself

 

[YvrzTrvly]

Yea for drinking I used hero dose of psilocybin. Cured immediate.

Weed I'm just not purchasing anymore

This is true.

Was a smoker in my late teens, early twenties.

I replaced it with the gym surprisingly and became hooked on that ever since. Now my stress reliever is the gym and if I don’t go, I’m irritated as fukk throughout the day.

It’s a vice that never goes away—that need. You just put something good in place of the bad.

The gym is one place I use my addictive personality to my advantage. but then sometimes I smoke tree after work and eat like shyt. I eat like shyt whenever I smoke it's almost like my soul is punishing me because I know I shouldn't be smoking.

That’s exactly it breh. It’s the only place I’ve found that that obsessiveness is useful as fukk.

If it wasn’t for the gym, I’d be

Nah not sober but I limit my alcohol intake to the weekends and it's been working well for me. At one point I was drinking pretty much every day.

 

[bigde09]

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.

I find that discipline and abstention are two separate things,

One is mastering your addiction. and the other is hiding from it until you mess up and dive back into bad habits again.

I never want to put myself in the position where i feel like i failed or guilty just for having 1 drink.

Instead i challenge myself to make a bottle last the whole year. I usually buy a half gallon something fancy and expensive to help motivate me to draw it out.
Moderation is my goal.

 

[Diunx]

I'm drinking much less, and honestly even when I drink, unless I'm in a very fun environment with some music I enjoy playing, I barely get a buzz.

Not sober. Very moderate with everything

I drink 2 talk cans and call it a day. Rarely drink more these days. When I was younger and used to be around smoke sessions I would catch a buzz and leave. My friends would be smoking for hours doing nothing.

Good luck to all of you struggling with addictions or just trying to make some kind of positive changes in your lives.
