Anybody else staying sober? Been a month and a week since I last had an alcoholic drink. Together, we can stay sober!

I had an OD and wound up in the ER so I've gotta be sober for a while. Sucks. No happiness in sobriety. Just kill yourself.

I don't think so, that's more of a spiritual experience. I don't count hallucinogenics myself.

@461,875 (A)
Find reasons to stay sober, it helped me. I took up exercising (running, lifting weights etc), not something you'd do with a hangover, and not something feel like doing high. I'm closing in on 2 years sober and loving it.

I quit smoking (cold turkey) about 14 months ago, and I'm never gonna smoke again. I can run over 4 miles now! It's silly to be excited about that, but it never would have been possible while smoking. Selling meth is a way of life, I can never give that up.

Most of those are the old alcoholic Green, but the one in the 9 o'clock position drinking tea looks fairly innocuous.

Also congrats on 3 weeks! How are you feeling?

I wanted to add some variety and I was probably drunk when I was drinking that tea. I'm feeling better, I can exercise and read books because I can concentrate. Feels good to not have a hangover. I still get cravings, but they lessen with time.
