I hate when I don't drink and I still feel hung over.

That is not sobriety; that is something else - and that something else is a problem with many folks in religious and other institutions… I get It.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.....................
Who invited the normie?30 years no smoke or any drugs
5 months no drinking but when I quit only had a drink "beer" with dinner
dead. no doubt about it. i was a garbage pail variety. whatever there was, i did it or drank it, until it was gone. i was always in the er, the back of a cop car, or running wild through the streets. my ex told me, "sober up or never see me or your son again." i listened. my son is now 27. got a 22 year old daughter. best decision i ever made. have never looked back. a beer sounds good sometimes, but that's the trouble. it sounds too good, so why stop at one when there are a hundred in the bar, a dealer inside, and some crazy people waiting to do some crazy sh!t with? i have no off switch.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 am not an ex addict. i just chose not to, daily.I'm happy for you and all good with this sh!t, as long as you're not the preachy ex-addict type.

This is where i'm atcongrats on 26.
i'm not strictly sober but for the most part i don't drink or do drugs. i have the occasional beer and i enjoy it but it's never really been my jam. even one micro brew makes me feel slow the next day and i don't care for that. i haven't smoked weed in a long time since it started giving me anxiety.
Like 4-5 years ago I was drinking a bit more habitually. Never heavily but say 1-2 beers most evenings. I read the sleep book by mathew walker and the chapter on alcohol and how it affects sleep really made me re-consider the daily drinking. I cut way back the point where I might go a couple months at a time between drinks.
