Movies about drugs these days makes me not want to use drugs

Or shows…

I’ve been watching Narcos and it’s all about drugs and they’re drinking the whole time and it makes me think “WTF was wrong with me…drinking and drugging and whatnot.” In the past I would’ve been like “dang that’s cool, i wanna do that”

Now today will be my 5th day sober, haven’t even thought about a drink or a drug since I drank friday night. It’ll be easy tonight and tomorrow because I have IOP. And friday I’m gonna work out come 7:30 PM.

Not to get ahead of myself though :wink:

That happened to me too, now I don’t feel the need or desire to drink or do drugs.
Sometimes I miss being well enough to enjoy those things, but that’s about it.

Theres a movie called requiem for a dream. I havent seen it but its meant to be nasty. Turns people of drugs. I used to enjoy marijuana. Thats a pretty harmless drug though. Never tried any other drug and dont plan too

Back when bath salts first came out I was thinking, “Hey, that’s legal and it will get you high. I want to try it.” Then I heard about all the horrible things it did to people and I was so glad I never got ahold of any of it.

This might be inappropriate, but Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas makes drugs look fun, so don’t watch it.

i feel the same.
It’s really bad when your second fridge is topped full of beer, and you can drink it all in under a week.
and than have to shell out a wad load of cash to fill it up again.
what stopped me drinking was getting arrested now i’ve had a bottle of wine and a 6 pk of beer since (in 6+ months) that’s all.
probably won’t even drink on my birthday next month i mean i’d just stay home and drink anyway so what’s the point at the end of the day what a waste of cash in my eyes. drinking is just degeneration anyway.

Gotta think about how you’ll just be depressed the next day. Instead of getting that quit fix to feel good. Do something else that makes you feel good and doesn’t make you feel like ■■■■ after it’s over. Like working out or finding better meds. 2 things i’ve done recently to prove my chances of surviving drugs and alcohol.

“Trainspotting” is a good one. How drugging puts you in weird or difficult situations and how difficult it is to escape that life once you’re hooked and deep in it. It’s realistic and comedic at the same time.

its good that you are doing that,
really at the end of the day alcohol is just a waste anyway and drugs are just as bad sometimes worse.
No point wasting your life and money and days getting wasted and destroying your mind frame when you could remain healthy addiction free and feel content. Trust me it’s a way better feeling - i can already feel the difference of just starting up smokes again 2 weeks ago to how i was when i had quit - its a crappy feeling so much so that im giving up again after this pouch - drugs would be way worse.

I can think of many better things to do with money than waste them, heck, even saving the cash feels better than wasting it at the end of the day it gives me more of a dopamine rush. Getting fit, remaining some what stable with cash and being healthy up in your head is all that counts. not worth destroying yourself and everything around you.
