That'd be me. Clarity is the best high by far. 8 years

- Thread starter bonzer5fin
- Start date
Good for you B5!
I stopped the smoking thing 4 years ago (cold turkey)
Now, have to stop the drinking thing I (I loves my beers)
I'm headed up to Alaska for 10 days next week with a very good friend who's been clean and sober 26 years.
Still carries his coin, and gets together with some of the locals up there for a meeting.
Kinda trips me out, but I get it.
You are good person Brandon

It was from this very encounter that B5 chose to go down the dark path -- one from which he would, thankfully, eventually recover.
Congratulations, B5. What was it that convinced you in 1996 to take control of your life? Where would you be if continued those destructive activities?
I’d be either Under arrest, under medical supervision, or under the ground
In a few months I will have outlived my uncle. He drank himself under at 43. I was on his heels for a while there
Congratulations B5, happy 26. May you have many more. And congrats to all the others who have found sobriety.
I’m glad you woke up this morning sober
26 years is a long time
congratulations!
and to everyone else whose live are better because they can say they woke up sober today too
your post made me think, when was the last time I drank?
and then quickly remembered it was just last night,
so not that long ago,
but it’s really rare
Alcohol just isn’t my drug of choice
I'm happy for you and all good with this sh!t, as long as you're not the preachy ex-addict type.
Sobriety is a religion of it's own.....................

you looked sexsier while loaded6 years, thanks for the chat(s)
Alcohol... drank so much I became allergic.
Heroin... quit it back in the 90's. After one last hurrah.
Pills... never saw the appeals. Only use powdered form anti-inflammatories, and very infrequently.
Cocaine... never had a problem with it, only when offered, and only the kind you have to use a razor to shave it from the rock, and no amount of chopping ever makes it into powder.
Devil's lettuce... daily, but it's normally for neck or back pain. Don't really "get high" much anymore, unless one of my brothers is in town, then we burn like we were teenagers again.
Congratulations to all you who have achieved personal successes.
You have all my respects....

Woke up Saturday morning sober.
Still felt like I had had a beer or two the night before.
And I thought, "This is how it is going to feel here on out? Even after no imbibing of delicious fermented malt beverages (or anything else)?"
Boy, it is enough to make one think, 'F*ck it, lets get this going:'
1 tantric sex,
2 long distance running,
3 ice baths,
4 immersing myself into 18 hour work days to pay for more possessions,
5 religion,
6 harder drugs,
7 surfing blown out wind chop every day no matter what,
8 front page sweeps,
9 writing out a new manifesto,
10 head back to the lab for more scanner/firestarter training.
PS
Am happy to see people succeeding in getting and staying sober. Would have more friends alive/in my life if it was easier for everyone.
