The Sobriety Thread

I quit for 6 months while I was on probation. It was horrible I relapsed a bunch of times with different drugs but I find it nearly impossible to quit pot its funny really. I IV heroin 2-3 times a week and never crave it but I cant go one day without smoking.

I think i've smoked almost every day for the last 15 years. I've pondered over and reflected on a lot of different drugs but have never really questioned my cannabis use and the impact it has/hasnt had on my life (I was just reading a thread about 'gateway drugs'). That's one thing my sobriety, if I can call it that, has got me starting to think about recently. I've had a lot of time to think about stuff and bluelight is good at thought provoking. I cant imagine the day I will decide to stop smoking, but that goes for cigarettes too. I don't want to stop and it annoys me that I don't want to.
 
I must say the idea of sobriety is rather appealing when you look at a pile of stuff you have and say, if I am going to be sober tomorrow, I have to get rid of this today. puff puff.
 
^ lol it's the only responsible thing to do.

edit - and you get to do it again, and again, and again... everyone's a winner!
 
Im trying to take a few days off smoking pot to prove to myself that i can...i don't think i can. The problem with being addicted to weed is that it doesn't really effect u in any strongly noticeable way, so you don't even think twice about doing it

...im not craving, i just really want a bowl
 
Sobriety sucks. Trying not to get high all day, and I just end up staring in the direction of where I know I can find a pile of hash and crystals. That and a nice clean bong out in the open while its drying out, is making sobriety a nearly impossible task.

That's another thing I noticed about sobriety. The "resources" available to those who try are so religiously biased its ridiculous. It's like society wants Athiests to kill themselves off with drug abuse.

i've been clean 15 days and going to aa daily and workin the steps with my sponsor, it really isn't so religiously biased if you look into it man. The big book just looks at addiction to alcohol and drugs as a disease which causes a person to become powerless against them, and they control a person. And for much of the time many addicts/alcoholics who try to quit fail time and time again because they themselves cannot conquer addiction. So what AA is based on is creating a connection with a higher power who will give you the strength to be sober, not any specific god, just a belief in a higher power who is looking out for you and giving you strength.

In the big book it talks about how over half the original aa group was atheist/agnostic and they wern't able to stay sober until they found god. It's worked for millions of people so why are you saying its a bad thing. If you've never been to a meeting i suggest you go, you'll walk into a room full of the nicest and most caring and accepting people youll ever meet who all understand what your going through, at the end you'll most likely leave with 5 numbers of people who are going to call you the next day to see how your doing. At the very least its a hour of not thinking about drugs
 
Sober for one day, aside from a nitrous sesh but that doesn't count.

Hurray. I actually don't even remotely want to smoke right now.

My hands are a little tough to steady after my clonazepam ran out though...
 
i was sober for about 6 months middle of last year.. it was tough, for me at least. it was semi-forced, but i could have snuck in some uses in between.. and i didnt. i needed to get my life together so it was a good time for me to be sober. im doing a little stint of "sobriety" i dont really know if being on suboxone is considered being sober, but thats all i've been doing for the past few weeks.. i needed a break. the way that i do sobriety, is i just make a list of all the stuff that i should have been doing while i was using/need to do, ect.. and finish all that, and then maybe i can look at using again. if you keep yourself busy with responsible tasks it isn't as hard. the worst possible thing to do when your trying to be sober is read other drugs forum here, or look at the forum gallery..
 
i got forced into being sober. getting arrested, but on random drug test everyweek, and losing job. Kinda made being fucked up all the time everyday hard to do when getting drug tested all the time and not having a job so not making anymoney for drugs. I sure did enjoy waking up getting fucked up staying fucked up all day then knocking myself out with drugs at the end of the night.

Now that i been sober for a while and i dont have the cravings to get fucked up or want to get fucked up im ready to so i can not want to be sober lol. Plus i dont know but when its cold out i tend to stay home and do less drugs. summer time is coming and ill be ready to be fucked up 24/7 again
 
I have been clean from amphetamines, cocaine and e since the middle of last year. I also quit smoking on boxing day and have only had a drag of somebody else's probably 3 times since.

My reasons for getting sober were simple. The drugs were just starting to mess with my head. I was having panic attacks and getting major anxiety nearly everytime I took something towards the end so it really was a no brainer.

I haven't missed it at all. I was never an addict in the true sense of the word but more a weekly binge user. I had 5 good years taking drugs and enjoying myself. I'm now 25 and am over the whole phase I went through and am ready to move into the next part of my life.

I still socialise a lot with mates who are constantly taking drugs although it does piss me off sometimes that they can't just enjoy a night on the booze without having to get pills or whatever. I have been to a couple of music festivals and just drank alcohol whereas in the past I would have been looking to eat atleast 5 pills and still enjoyed myself just as much which to me tells me that I am over it and will never go back.

I would not give up any of the times I had using drugs but for me there came a point where I simply had to give it up and move on.
 
After nine days of no crack I just had to party Monday and Tuesday.... haven't decided yet if I am going to smoke some more this weekend or do another little sober stretch.

Have you considered using other less harmful substances at the party? It may be a very good option, partying sober and having a good time can be difficult for people that abuse(d) "party drugs".
 
I got out of rehab a few months ago.

Im staying clear of all opiates, i've had a handfull shots of coke over the past 2 months even though im trying to stay off needles.

but i've only been drinking/smoking during the week and mostly just taking drugs in the weekends or special occasions.

This is about as sober as i have been in like 4 years...
