Is anyone else here completely sober? By this I mean that they don't even smoke pot or use cannabis at all in other ways like vaporizing, dabbing/hash oil, eating it in prepared foods, or take psychedelic drugs or research chems.

I personally don't use cannabis at all or use any psychedelics or legal research chems, is anyone else here like this? I don't drink or take opiates and the only stimulant I use now is caffeine.

I use mushrooms between four to six times a year and i have smoked grass four times in the last six months. so Im not completely sober. My goal is to live the most peaceful life in recovery and free from active addiction and I feal I am doing this in a fashion that is best for me.
 
As of right now, I've been completely sober from everything for 16 days. But that will change eventually. I'm going to start smoking weed again. My problem was opiates, bud was never a problem for me.
 
To quote Donny from Wolf of Wall Street;

"I cant imagine never not enjoying getting fucked up again, I love it."

That being said, I am staying away from the problem drugs for me (opiates). Still use (from time to time) weed, booze, and phenibut.

So true, I can't give up gettin high which is why I'm not giving up smoking. It's been part of my life for 8 or so years. So if I have to get high that bad than I'm gonna stick to my non problem "drug" - weed(although I don't consider weed a drug)
 
No I still drink 2-3 times a week and use nicotine replacement therapy along with the drugs im prescribed and of course caffeine.

I've been curious about this, do you find that the mushrooms add any clarity to the sobriety issue?
I've read that LSD can help to snap a person out of wrong thinking when it comes to alcohol, how about opiates?
I used to take it a couple of decades ago, and I just recently found someone with access to some fresh stock.
I think you're doing great NSA, I view psychedelics taken only occasionally as a sacrament, not a lack of sobriety.
 
Besides buprenorphine I've been 100% clean & sober since 5/14/2013. So like, 318 days. And I consider myself sober on bupe.

I do plan on using psychedelics occasionally, eventually. I'm in no rush to trip right now but I know I will eventually - sort of like NSA I just want to live a life free from active addiction and keep growing as a person, becoming more successful - and I don't think taking LSD, Psilocybin, Mescaline or DMT a couple times a year is ever going to fuck that up for me. Like I said though, probably not anytime soon.

I do. i use them very effectively to reset the cycles of my addiction. It seems that when I start to slip down the cycle that their use can help me reset my thinking. The use of the grass is just a once and awhile thing and is done for a change of scenery thing.. like at a concert or camping type thing. I never intend on using anything on even a weekly bases again.

I drink coffee every day. It is something I want to cut down to maybe once a week, so I actually feel it.

Nothing else.


I really miss smoking cannabis, as it was a social thing(almost daily use of mostly low potency stuff) and was a positive overall (at least the way I remember it).
The couple times semi-recently I tried some, I got super anxiety attacks... not sure if it was the strain or what.
I have no connections ATM and haven't sought it out.

I'm not craving, but I could really use some opiates. I have health problems and my body is not working right, and opiates are like a shortcut through the weeks of consistent physical therapy and sunshine that I probably need in order to feel even halfway decent/baseline at this point. I easily had an rx for my spinal problem, but it was too habit forming for me. I would have to have a nurse or something dispense a daily supply and that wasn't realistic.

speed or meth or coke or whatever is too much for my heart problems. Also super addictive, so it's probably good that isn't an option.

I like alcohol, but pretty much the only way I'm going to make some bread is by using my brain, so it is a poor DOC option.
 
Yes.

I had an experience in Amsterdam during 2012 with a cocktail of drugs that has since traumatized me, i saw my behavior through the lens of a psychedelic and felt immense shame. Now whenever the topic of drugs comes up or im around situations or environments where there been openly used my heart rate increase's and i become incredibly anxious. It feels like a form of PTSD.

I don't drink coffee, but i recently picked up smoking cigarettes again which im hoping to quit.. apart from that i'm completely sober.

I never came into frequent contact with opiate's, i know if i ever did it would swallow me up into the abyss.. it's exactly the type of substance that i would become addicted too.
 
I finally am drug-free now, not really by choice though (alcohol is a completely different story). It's tough. I tried picking up new hobbies, working on my car, volunteering, learning a language, reading, but nothing gives me any pleasure. Don't really have any friends anymore so it's just sleep, eat, work, repeat. Just going through the motions and hoping things change some day.

No I wish tell me your secret...;)

I pop painkillers every day tolerance is through the roof
I drink
I smoke cigs
I shroom every once in a while
 
I wouldn't consider myself completely sober as I still drink occasionally.
 
Yeah I'm sober apart from the occasional beer or 3 and it sucks.
 
I'm an occasional drug user (I take my sertraline and doxepin everyday though).
The last time I used recreational drugs was 6-8 weeks ago, and I don't plan on stopping.
 
I hope to get sober again, just quit dope. Still smoke weed here and there, and have pills. I really really wanna try being sober again, this life isn't working for me.
