I've decided to be sober

No more alcohol for this Banana :banana::banana::banana: and I already promised my pdoc I wouldn’t do acid anymore, and I never got into harder/prescription drugs. Weed is off the table too, it makes me paranoid and triggers psychosis.

Yaaay healthy living!!

I am happy for you. Alcohol was my drug of choice. It caused me a LOT of problems. I’ve been sober for four and a half years. What kept me sober was the memory of the utter misery of sobering up after one of the binges I was on. My two biggest enemies are drinking buddies and “euphoric recall”. The best way for me to resist them is to remember sobering up after a hard binge. I wish you the best.

Thanks @crimby ! Four and a half years, congrats!! Yeah, it was just starting to get out of control, and I’ve decided enough is enough. I’m tired of being hungover at like 3 in the afternoon

I’ve been wondering about that myself. My roommate and her boyfriend both drink at least 6 beers a day. Thus, when I drink 6 beers it feels perfectly normal. But, I love to drunk email and blackout drunk text people. Then, the next day I don’t even remember what’s been said and this weekend I had to go to work hungover. Thanks for listening to my confessions and congrats to anyone taking the first steps.
