Tell me about living sober?

Question by Patrick E: Tell me about living sober?
For anyone out there who doesn’t drink or use drugs, how do you do it? I’ve been relying on being high to get me through the work week for a long time. I have tried to stay sober before, but this time I’m sticking with it and changing my life.

Well it’s easy for someone who isn’t addicted to drugs and alcohol to not want or need alcohol haha. But sometimes it is kindof hard not wanting to just get smashed in certain situations in life. When things get so hard you just want to down a bottle or smoke a big bong just to put your mind somewhere else. So I understand where your coming from with your need to drink and take whatever else you take. Also because most of my friends and family have had problems with drugs and alcohol in the past. Many have gotten past it, many didn’t. I don’t know, some people are just not strong enough to walk themselves out of that, some are. Another problem is getting a person to WANT to stop that stuff. Some never wanted to or will want to and go down crap creek. So you know what, your realizing it’s a problem and it’s something you WANT to change, so the drugs and alcohol didn’t warp your mind, atleast not yet or your a strong person.

Keep trying, go to a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, rehab, whatever you need to. Be around people who will inspire you to stop and to realize you don’t need that stuff. The people I know who got off of that crap wound up feeling really relieved and much better. You can do it. And I hope my boyfriend can too.
