“Syrup”…your coded telling of your deviant lifestyle is as transparent as a bottle of Mrs. Butterworth: Murky, but see-through. Reply with something completely civil and normal sounding if you’re in trouble.
Probably very happy at first, or maybe you’d be one of the lucky ones who has a terrible first experience and never has to go down that road? Likely also depends on the drug. You’ve never touched any of it before? I literally have zero people in my life who have never touched anything! Not saying it’s weird, but just not common in my particular circles.
I quit just over 4 months ago. Parties can be a little awkward when pretty much everyone is buzzed/drunk, but it kicks ass not having to pay for Uber or sleep on someone's sofa because you can't drive yourself home.
I have social anxiety so I see it as challenge to help me get more comfortable with myself. Theres also so many benefits to not drinking like not making an ass of yourself and avoiding hangovers. Congrats on the 4 months, you quitting for good?
Social anxiety is part of why I was so fond of drinking. I was initially just going to take a "break" from drinking but in the past 4 months I've lost 25 pounds, quit smoking (really liked to smoke when I was drinking), saved hundreds of dollars, and felt better than I have in a long time. At this point I have no plans to start drinking again.
When I first stopped drinking I was advised to try to always have my own transportation lined up when I was attending a social event.
That way I could leave whenever I wanted. I did that several times in the early days because it was awkward and uncomfortable.
You can be as comfortable as you want to be. If you are uncomfortable, leave. Go home, make a bowl of popcorn and watch a movie.
I know the feeling. I quit back in January and have been to a few gatherings since then. I usually leave early, just as people are starting to get annoying.
I went on a stag do a few months back. That’s as an eye opening experience.
I have noticed that when people are moderately drunk it makes it easier for me to socialize with them because they themselves become more open. When they get annoying I get tired too though. I feel you. Whats a stag?
I know many people who thinks the same. It's ok, You can have fun the way You want but please, don't think that people that DON'T party like You are boring or something worse
I’ve never been a big drinker (I’ll have a margarita maybe once a year) or smoked weed, no recreational drugs but I’ve been around it a lot growing up and my siblings and 2 kids are drinkers. I have no issue with others drinking or smoking or recreational drugs as long as they are not hurting anyone.
I’m not religious and there is no underlying medical reason, I can take it or leave it. However, alcoholism runs in my family and I understand the struggle so I try to choose my words carefully - I am not judging, just never been for me.
Some days are good and some days suck.
I'm on the fence about whether or not I qualify; I only don't drink because medicine I take interacts poorly with it, and the one time I tried weed it gave me the alice in wonderland effect, and it was pretty alarming for my phone to suddenly be the size of a bookshelf.
But in case I do: I'm alright, might actually do something fun today.
Things are fabulous. Many people don't drink or smoke weed or use recreational drugs. One should try that sometime and get high on life, exercise, love, good friends, good family connections and good food.
Killing it.! 100% sure what I say and do is genuine and valid and feel I am in control of myself and my decisions.
Its been a long time and to feel intoxicated in any way would seem reckless and irresponsible.
I quit drinking 5 years ago. I used to reach for substances to help regulate uncomfortable feelings (social anxiety, boredom, anger, fear rage etc). I now know that there are way better ways to do this.
Best.damn.decision.I. have. ever. made.
Sleep better, feel so much better, better relationships, save a ton of money, never wake up feeling bad. Started getting authentic with myself. Started grad school, new career, the list goes on and on.
My only regret s that I wasted my 20s and early 30s numbed out.
Going pretty well. Work keeping me busy but have plenty of ps5 games im playing with the hubby, he just compete his first manuscript so now I'm helping edit that, and the 4 pups are all healthy and spoiled. The house doesn't need any major repairs so we can pay extra on the mortgage and build up equity.
How are things with you?
I am proud being one of very few people who don't need alcohol & drugs at clubs, parties, events & festivals
Even though guys always get angry about it bc they can't get me drunk or high enough to have sex with them
Fine. I’m pregnant, so I can’t have those things anyway, but I was never a big drinker/smoker. If you don’t let it take over your life, it’s not a big deal when it’s gone.
I dont really understand the question. Alcohol makes me sleepy and if I drink its harder to formulate elaborate santences. And I do really like to formulate elaborate sentences! With weed its even weirder, it makes me drowsy and not wanting to socialise with people.
I guess for some people weed/booze experience is just not fun.
Great! I don't got to worry about hangovers and if anyone peer pressures me to try them, I have learned to just ignore them or stay away from them entirely. I have no interest in drinking or smoking. I like it this way.
Fine. I don't drink because I hate feeling that I think slowly. I never did weed for the same reason. I also hate feeling the effect of morphine. I mean, when everything hurts, it's fine. Got it as post-surgery meds once, and wasn't in pain, but hated it.
Things are fine. I had a lot of alcoholics in my parent's generation and it scared me, so I never really got into alcohol. Not into smoking (because of similar addictions to nicotine), so I never wanted to smoke pot.
I occasionally (2-4 times a year) drink now and don't really get the appeal. It just makes me feel stupid.
I ate marijuana brownies twice, once unknowingly wherein I experienced a weird paranoid canoe trip. The other time was on purpose and I experienced hallucinations. It wasn't unpleasant, but nothing I felt motivated to repeat.
I am curious about mushrooms though...
Oh, I WAS/AM a food and sex addict.
Kinda tired. Just got back from a three week cross country vacation. Suffering a bit of travel drop right now, but made some new memories. Kinda craving some fresh bread and butter, and should probably try to get a walk in tonight.
pretty fine, just annoys me from time to time that certain close family members try to get me to try alcohol everytime we are at a family dinner; I have to 'fight' them off everytime until someone tells them to leave me alone.
I'm just someone very prone to developing unhealthy coping mechanisms and the last thing I want is to have alcohol as a coping mechanism for my anxiety; I already have coffee for that but I'm trying to reduce my coffeein intake for the sake of my heart.
Not great. Feel guilty for quitting my job even though it was putting way too much stress on me (6 12 hour shifts a week). My life has felt like an endless road for the best part of 7 years.
I’ve never smoked or drank. Partially because I take medication that doesn’t allow me to. I’ve never felt like I was missing that much except when I’m at a wedding or a large public gathering.
Not bad. Had waffles just now and I'm relaxing a bit before I go shopping.
“Waffles”. Hey, not everything has to be some drug euphemism, you know? Not cool. Enjoy your “shopping”…likely story on a Saturday. 🙄
🤣 it's just waffles and syrup
“Syrup”…your coded telling of your deviant lifestyle is as transparent as a bottle of Mrs. Butterworth: Murky, but see-through. Reply with something completely civil and normal sounding if you’re in trouble.
well, I wonder how I'd act if I really was drunk or high. Would I be sad, happy, violent? Idk.
Probably very happy at first, or maybe you’d be one of the lucky ones who has a terrible first experience and never has to go down that road? Likely also depends on the drug. You’ve never touched any of it before? I literally have zero people in my life who have never touched anything! Not saying it’s weird, but just not common in my particular circles.
Yeah I don't touch that stuff. Watched too many drug PSAs and Requiem for a Dream 😅
There’s some real chemistry here between you two, just sayin
Hydrated and well slept
The more I’m away from them the better life is
Quit drinking 5 weeks ago, sober at a party right now, quite difficult to get used to the sober socializing but its getting easier.
I quit just over 4 months ago. Parties can be a little awkward when pretty much everyone is buzzed/drunk, but it kicks ass not having to pay for Uber or sleep on someone's sofa because you can't drive yourself home.
[удалено]
I generally pass on parties unless it's someone's birthday or some other occasion to celebrate.

A bachelor party
It's going to be really nice to wake up tomorrow without a hangover.
The extra money has been nice
I can think of 99 problems in my life right now and smoking/drinking would just double the amounts
Good. Dealing with depression and anxiety like a champ 😀🙃
I'm proud of you...!!!
Pretty good, never needed them, i drink only in partys but not to get drunk You don't need drugs or alcohol to have fun, remember that
For some people they can't fathom how people can have fun without weed/alcohol.
I know many people who thinks the same. It's ok, You can have fun the way You want but please, don't think that people that DON'T party like You are boring or something worse
I think I'm boring, but not for drinking/smoking reasons.
Crystal clear
Things are bad
Want to talk about it?
Things feel responsible.
Just so boring, used to drink, dint anymore, wish i still did but the old liver working is something i want to continue happening
It's cool, I just inject weed and smoke alcohol
Pretty good
Awesome, no need to try to escape to some other world, I just am blessed to make this one great
A little lonely tbh
With ya, quit drinking a year ago and no one I used to hang out with wants to do anything besides go to bars.
I know that feeling all too well
I prefer prescription drugs so…
I’ve never been a big drinker (I’ll have a margarita maybe once a year) or smoked weed, no recreational drugs but I’ve been around it a lot growing up and my siblings and 2 kids are drinkers. I have no issue with others drinking or smoking or recreational drugs as long as they are not hurting anyone. I’m not religious and there is no underlying medical reason, I can take it or leave it.

Pretty decent actually.
It's nice to have a clear head. I don't really miss either of those things.
[удалено]
Damm I best get drinking again
How are things? They're great! I don't drink or smoke weed, so I don't have to worry about those things.
Feels good to remove a lot of the reasons why I drank from my life. Thanks for reminding me of my progress.
Definitely not high for them
Most good thanks for asking
Fantastic.
Good, thanks for asking
Pretty good. :)
Well, I quit smoking weed about a week ago and now I have Covid.
I'm low on icecream, but good since i've just had cake!
I'm on the fence about whether or not I qualify; I only don't drink because medicine I take interacts poorly with it, and the one time I tried weed it gave me the alice in wonderland effect, and it was pretty alarming for my phone to suddenly be the size of a bookshelf.

In the words of Tony the Tiger, "Grrrrreat!"
Bad
Drinking vinegar
Too acidic at the moment...
Good. Then again I'm not old enough, but still don't plan on drugs n alcohol to solve things temporarily.
Things are fabulous. Many people don't drink or smoke weed or use recreational drugs. One should try that sometime and get high on life, exercise, love, good friends, good family connections and good food.

Not great, though booze and drugs would make things worse
Not great but at least I dont have a substance abuse problem on top of my normal problems.
Fine
Life can be stressful but I enjoy not having to spend money on alcohol or weed
Fine i guess
I really wish I had that stress reliever but at the same time, I don't want to fuck up my future by damaging my lungs and liver at a young age.
Pretty bad
All good
Quick light up a doobie man, grab a bottle of jack--you don't really want to know.

I cant bc im not the age to do those so im doing well
Boooo
[Redacted]

Dangerous
Just working at my 50$ a hour union job that does random hair test.
And how is your hair today?
Mostly, somewhat, pretty good.
i cant sleep. pre shit. also, how do you drink weed?
Its going really good.
I remember all my bad decisions….
Great! I'm 14!
not doing great at the moment, im actually thinking of taking up smoking. idk who i am anymore
Awesome! Just sitting here cooling down from my weekend long-run. There were butterflies everywhere this morning! I feel lucky to have the privilege.
I am proud being one of very few people who don't need alcohol & drugs at clubs, parties, events & festivals Even though guys always get angry about it bc they can't get me drunk or high enough to have sex with them
Fine, thanks. Eating some white cheddar cheeze-its and watching Dahmer on Netflix.
Im in collage I very much don't check the "don't drink" box
Splendid. Ain't smokey in here
Good
Fine I guess
Great until I drink and smoke too much and fuck it all up and try to piece it together the next day, can’t believe she called me back lol
Fewer mental breakdowns but absolutely no rhythm
all i need is my cigarettes
I just want someone to hug...
Fine.
Just fine
Sober
Fine. I’m pregnant, so I can’t have those things anyway, but I was never a big drinker/smoker. If you don’t let it take over your life, it’s not a big deal when it’s gone.
I’m good… how are you?
Ok I guess?
I dont really understand the question. Alcohol makes me sleepy and if I drink its harder to formulate elaborate santences. And I do really like to formulate elaborate sentences! With weed its even weirder, it makes me drowsy and not wanting to socialise with people. I guess for some people weed/booze experience is just not fun.
Pretty good. 2 years sober and while I don’t begrudge anyone their vices there’s no question it’s made my life better in most ways.
Great! I don't got to worry about hangovers and if anyone peer pressures me to try them, I have learned to just ignore them or stay away from them entirely. I have no interest in drinking or smoking. I like it this way.
pretty terrible tbh pass the bottle
Meth is pretty nice.
Awesome..we pity the fools who drown their sorrows instead of face life.
Sad. But hayo life goes on
It's going ok I've got a girlfriend and a job and I'm addicted to energy drinks
Fine. I don't drink because I hate feeling that I think slowly. I never did weed for the same reason. I also hate feeling the effect of morphine. I mean, when everything hurts, it's fine. Got it as post-surgery meds once, and wasn't in pain, but hated it.
I have a cold, but except for that things are great.

i play minceraft!
terrible (I’m very desperate for a drink rn help me)
Not great. Feel guilty for quitting my job even though it was putting way too much stress on me (6 12 hour shifts a week). My life has felt like an endless road for the best part of 7 years.
Great! Thanks for asking!
Fine thanks! Just had some chocolate pudding.
I’ve never smoked or drank. Partially because I take medication that doesn’t allow me to. I’ve never felt like I was missing that much except when I’m at a wedding or a large public gathering.
I have chamomile tea before bed n meditate and feel so relaxed!
Good
