Those who don't smoke or drink how do y'all do it?

[Mirin4rmfar]

I grew up in a household where drinking n smoking was not allowed. So I never cared much for it. I drink once in a blue moon.

my mom has diabetes and my pops died of a heart attack.

genetics arent on my side for those things so i stay away from drinking and smoking. also take as little salt and sugar as possible.

I partake in a drink once in a blue moon, but it's nothing I need in life and if I didn't have the option for it, I'd be more than OK.

I have no idea what it feels like to be drunk, nor do I care to know. Smoking in any facet has never appealed to me.

12 years sober. I rarely want to drink or use, but often I wish I could drink, esp. in dating/personal relationships, it is such a glue regarding sex and intimacy, I can do without it, but a lot of people aren't nearly as comfortable.

I just don't have the urge, can't miss something you never had

 

[FcKuPaYmE]

Not my cup of tea. Tried and didnt like.

 

[King Frost]

It's not hard to do
a distant family tried to clown me on it, they think if you dont drink, smoke and have multiple kids youre not a real man

 

[Marco Zen]

As someone who does neither, I've found that if you have good enough reasoning you can turn it into a point of interest to a lot of females

It's also gained me a lot of respect from both genders

This.

Ultimately that old saying really applies here..."those who mind don't matter, those who matter won't mind"

Sobriety has always been easy for me because I never started drinking or smoking. My mom and dad were great examples of what not to do when it comes to doing that shyt.

My grandma died prematurely from her addiction to cigarettes, so I've never been big on that. Smoked one cigarette back when I was 19 and regret that.

As far as alcohol, I'm just not a fan. In my early 20's I would have a few beers and shots occasionally with my old coworkers (restaurant industry) but didn't really get anything out of it, besides seeing everyone else show out or get sick because they drank too much Oh, can't forget the feeling of caked up teeth from beer

Personally my guilty pleasure is getting hyped over a couple cups of coffee on the weekend, focused instead of buzzed. For me its too much risk drinking off the chance of getting pulled over (even when not over the limit) or being a general target because you're buzzed at the wrong place at the wrong time. Haven't drank since NYE 2017 but maybe next decade I'll experiment with a liquor/wine just for special occasions once or twice a year, too focused on stacking paper right now.

And as far as women goes, yes it is a disadvantage. I'm 6'4 with locs so alot of women automatically assume from the jump that I drink and smoke so they get filtered out. It's not that bad for me since most of those women are not the ones I go for anyway. I still pull due to my looks and not having the "come through and smoke with me" ace-in-the-hole forced me to develop my mouthpiece/personality/hobbies.

I used to drink regular and smoke heavy

As I get older I stopped both, other than maybe a glass of wine at work or a beer to watch the game

Drinking heavy ruins my mornings, and I be working too much

I narrowed my life focus, eyes on thr prize. Drugs and alcohol slow u down and keep u temporarily happy to keep u off track for the true prize.

 

[Yade]

I rarely drink maybe once a year

But I smoke a lot of weed

 

[Yade]

I had 2 uncles die from drinking and have multiple family members who are addicted I’d rather not even entertain drinking , shyt seems like hell and depressing

 

[Yade]

I also use to think Weed was WACK
I tried it a few times but didn’t care for it , eventually I found out I smoked it wrong so the Next time I inhaled and never want back sober

 

[Marco Zen]

Sober life is the shyt
