1.No drugs & alchohol. First month was the toughest. Went from snorting an ounce a month to 0 tolerance. No friends who do drugs either. Essentially meant it was me alone. I learnt to accept myself and just chill. No phone. No facebook, No social. Just the coli & itsbx cos phones and social media make you accesible to people.

2.Incorporated physical fitness into my daily routine. Being around a positive environment was a huge change from drinks, drugs, hoes (5 year+ run). I think i've blown atleast 100k on blow alone in 5 years. shyts crazy. MY dealer/plug loved me cos everyone I knew in corporate life was bout that life. Based on social connections I kept him fed but I'm in the gym now hoping to do my first IFBBB 12+ months just to say I did it.

3.Find your passion. I knew I wanted to do more martial arts, so I'm waiting on my practice dummy whilst i heal and go back to BJJ. Its crazy how some 150pound kid wrapped me up (pause) and choked me Gi on. I couldn't get a good hold on him as it was one of my first sessions but BJJ is no joke. I got my ass handed to me by almost everyone in the gym. They really are no joke on the ground. Its scary, makes me almost never wanna fight in real life cos I got manhandled. They coulda snapped every fukking joint in my body if it was a real fight.

4.Education. Got bored with my MBA but saw some cool online courses and started doing them since I had so much time on my hands.

5.Get money. Being absolutely clean as boring as it has been when compared to my previous life has opened more doors plus allowed me to start to resolve some bad financial decisions made under the influece.

Cut out drink and drugs:

Was never big on either and hated the come down/hangover phase. A clear mind is better.

Cut out non water drinks

Good for you OP. However, the Coli is not the place for positivity sorry.

An ounce a month? That's about a gram or so a day, how'd you get so hooked?

Mostly 4-6 grams on Fri-Sun. I don't really touch it Mon - Thurs due to work. I work Fri from home mostly so I could start partyin on Thurs night to Monday 4am in order to make ti to work by 7am. I lived the lifestyle. Had diff strippers coming off shifts at crazy hours so I had a stash to be always ready to go

Going sober really appeals to me, feel as if it will improve my life 10 fold, it will cut out poor decisions, save me money and give me more time to spend in a more wise fashion.

fukk it, I'm doing it :salute:

:jbhmm: ima try and stop smoking.
Yall making it sound real good up there.


^^^ lmao @Terrance Curtis Beasley

Had a hell of a time stopping smoking. When my daughter was born I really wanted to. Champix or Chantix was a massive help. Makes cigarettes disgusting and unpleasurable. My fitness level and General well being have gone up enormously ever since.
