I don't smoke weed even (softer drug) - haven't in over 3.5 years or so myself. I also quit drinking and I don't want to return for now as I feel it's just a waste of time for the most part unless it was really worth it. Most of the time it's not even worth it and it's too boring and/or stale to me now or a waste of time for the most part on drinking alone. I kind of do miss chilling out though a bit, but I know I just need to restructure my life to find something that works for that spot alone in my life. Only hard drug I've ever done is probably hard liquor, but I've never done cocaine, meth, heroin and/or etc.

I remember in high school or after high school I even had a slogan "Do heron, not heroin". Which means do photography instead of drugs, but that one didn't come out right when I said that. It sounded like I was going to go have sex with birds or herons (the birds) for that matter.

I appreciate that I always had ways of finding other stuff to do or just that I had over activities to do instead. I did turn into kind of a massive nerd at one point with multiple 50s in Halo 3 back in the day due to finding other stuff to do instead of drugs alone. Running alone probably saved me the most though since doing drugs would screw up my ability to run when I was younger even if it's just cannabis (never really did though - just at certain times in my life) at that point which I don't use anymore myself and haven't done so in years even.

I'm glad I always had the ability to find other activities and/or had other activities to prevent myself from getting bored and doing drugs though.

I activity like having lists now or creating lists and/or etc to keep myself off drugs or having a list I can go off myself. It keeps me from getting bored to the point where I'd want to do drugs even.

I am fucking weird though myself even if it's just sometimes. I blame math or mathematics though and being a geek / nerd type though (even if just at times) rather than drugs.

I appreciate that I could avoid drugs over the years myself for the most part myself especially being able to avoid the hard street drugs completely. I appreciate that myself, but I am definitely weird though with some of my humor though even if it's just at times.

I feel I don't get much out of them myself (alcohol alone).

try opioids bro. i do em daily and makes me happy

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

I could never do opiods like pain killers and such. I've never done opiods other than probably eating a poppy seed muffin.

You know it's behind you precisely when "I feel I don't get much out of them myself"

Of course it doesn't prevent relapse from ever happening, but this above indicates that you're going "meh" about it, and it's a good thing

The more drugs feel like "yeah... Pointless" the better

Then you have boredom, as the saying goes "smoking is the past-time of bored people"

Shitposting/ online discussion / political activism can help

It's not necesserally the most profitable thing in the world moneywise... That's a problem, eventually

But other than "that", it's a good thing, sort of group therapy without really being one, arguing back and forth keeps you sharp and busy mentally that's already that

I wouldn't relapse since I've never done cocaine, meth, heroin and/or etc alone. Never done any of the hard street drugs alone. I've only smoked weed (which isn't a hard street drug - obviously) and that's just psychologically addicting for the most part to me personally not anything else. I also didn't do it for a long enough time for it to become addicted to that either. I never was much of a smoker myself (haven't used cannabis in 3.5 years or so and before that it was years to as well - it was only for a couple of months then I gave it up again completely and I'm at 3.5 years now myself again like usual).

I quit drinking on my own just fine and that's more or so taking a break, so I wouldn't relapse on that to me personally anyways.

I don't have anything I can "relapse" on right now myself. I'm on my 32nd day without alcohol and I've taken breaks just fine in the past, but this is to make sure it doesn't become a problem at some point. It's a preventive measure and I wouldn't be "relapsing" at that point. I don't want a tolerance and I feel taking a break of six months to a year alone would break any tolerance to the point where I could just have two large beers and be completely fine - not a six pack of beer.

I had "do math not meth" at one point myself or "methematics - addictive math like being a video game designer (easy example) and loving the job (addictive math) - but this got ruined like 5-10 years ago when I found out that it's an actual term on the street. This was to avoid street drugs.

That's due to my love for geometry though and another example would be architecture (video game designer was when I was really young though or younger though) alone.

I am diy-guy2 though and geometry plays into that alone in case I need to build something myself or do it myself and it requires building something which involves geometry alone.

You're still counting days "without" though...

I don't have an alcohol addiction myself, and when I drink, I drink hard it's never just one booz, I don't drink booz anyway mostly whyski or vodka or sake. And it's never just one, I know me. It went to the point it's dangerous (bar fights) so I stopped entirely and I don't miss any of it. I drank for lack of better options and it's not an option now.

That's my story with alcohol. Nothing comparable with yours.

...

I have tobacco addiction though, which isn't any better regarding health effect. I certainly don't "lose my mind" with tobacco. But at the same time it's one of the most stupid drug addiction on earth. It just thrash your lungs and gives you cancer ultimately, for no effect other than addiction

Really the most stupid drug on earth, hands down, only downsides

...

I still smoke hash for lack of weed time to times and everytime I "relapse" I feel like "meh, what for. Forgot again how pointless that feels/is... Wasted money again..." about it

I need more, I need something more fullfilling than "that", don't have time for this bs anymore basically, it gets in the way of my greater desires basically

So yeah, it's important to have greater desires/goals in life, hobbies, a passion for something certainly helps
