The Sobriety Thread

^I disagree. Harm Reduction doesn't suddenly become unimportant because one doesn't use drugs anymore.

I try to stay clean from empathogens and hard stimulants during the week. (I'll just stick to ephedrine(which being OTC, and due to how it tests, gives me an excuse for my piss tests, which works!) or a single(!) adderall to kick me into gear if I need some get up and go)

due to my place of work, It really wouldnt be good if I was strung out all the time.

On the weekend tho, I'll hit the harder stuff(amphetamines, including the methylated type), and I wont do it again for a week or two.

Tried Opiates, dont like em.

Benzo's? I dont find them fun...medically useful? yes. Fun? not for me. But I do take one or two to get sleep after a hard party, or after seeing some gruesome things...

47 Days clean of the needle and H. Somewhat voluntary, although if I had my druthers I'd still be using. Currently on Suboxone. I still drink once or twice a week and have done coke on two different nights during the 47 days. I miss my real opiates in a bad way though.

I've been steadily sober recently. Decided to quit weed about a week ago. I'm not a burn out, but my short-term memory and verbal recall have taken a hit in recent months. I have nothing against weed and I'm sure I'll smoke once in a great while when it's offered, but it's just that I don't take all that much pleasure in it anymore--and I've only been smoking for two years. Actually, the anniversary of my first high is sometime this weed (can't remember the exact day...wonder why).

I don't enjoy alcohol at all and I don't have reliable sources of "harder" shit, so yeah, I guess I'm gonna be pretty sober in the immediate future.

OK - I am about to leave the US for a two+ week vacation with a tour group and during this time I will definately be 100% sober - - no interest or intention of doing or looking for anything. Hopefully this will be good for me - 3 whole weeks without crack - my longest break in a 9 months. I am hoping the desire goes away and when I get back I only smoke the stuff two of three times a month. Cutting down usage will be great for my body and pocketbook. Plus the sketchy characters and neighborhoods involved in getting this stuff is not too cool either. Yea for sobriety!

If one was dead serious about sobriety going to bluelight would be the last thing on your mind.

Thats why I post in The Lounge most of the time lol. But I still get high. I wish I was high...

[psychedelic nod]

with sobriety its simple with me

if its forced i cant stand it, i feel trapped and i feel like shit, cravings and whatnot

but if i just decide to take a break its cool, im fine without drugs because i know i can go back if i want at any moment



thanks bob i havent had many forced sobriety periods

 

[travelaroundNC]

Just got back from vacation - now 3 full weeks with no crack - longest I've gone in a year - - don't know when I will hit the pipe again yet.

 

[GenericMind]

Has it been 3 months already?

I appear to do a lot better at the game of life when I'm sober. I've made more progress if the past 3 months then I had in a whole year prior. I still miss getting crunk though, yo.

 

[gorgoroth]

been clean since 8 days ago, I just smoked a little weed being the exception, now I have a piss test tommorow, nazi state

 

[travelaroundNC]

Decided to try to go the next full week with no crack - I need to put on a few lost pounds, catch up on sleep a little and it also is good on the finances.

 

[delta_9]

going on 5+ weeks now with no drugs

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.

Ditto.

 

[dankstersauce]

I was sober for 11 months....court ordered. I didn't want to risk it, and I didn't want to go back to jail.

Now it's all good, I do e-mail check ins with my probation officer and he has NEVER (not once...ever) drug tested me.

But IMO wanting to stay of the jail is probably the best incentive to start to get sober. it won't keep you sober forever, but it definately put me in the right direction.

 

[Inso]

When I caned the weed a bit too much last year for a few months due to having too much time and money, I went sober for a few days and damn it felt like I was on coke the first few days. It felt like I was thinking at a super speed and everything was so clear, went back to normal of course afterwards, still though its amazing how used the mind can get to being high, to the point where it feels normal.

 

[travelaroundNC]

OK - gonna try to stay sober this whole (short) work week. Friday is Indepedence Day in the US so many people have the day off. Anyway, even though I have a small supply of crack I am gonna see if I can be disciplined and not smoke at all until the weekend. This will be hard.

 

[limestoneman]

LOL D00D IM SO HIGH ON SOBERITY!!!1

I'm looking for a job yo.

 

[DivineMomenT]

I quit smoking weed yesterday. Gotta take a break.

The idea of longterm sobriety is a little odd to me. I feel that if your drug use is under control then a chip here and there won't hurt me.
