Being Sober

Drinking just doesn't feel as fun. I feel like I can have more fun with my friends and at parties / social gatherings without drinking. That is why, I'm going to stop drinking. At least for now. I'm not an alcoholic, far from it, I hardly ever drink alcohol anyways, but I think being sober would make someone a better person.

Also, my uncle is an alcoholic, and my other uncle died earlier this year because of liver damage from drinking. Its really hard to think about his son having to grow up without a father in the next couple years at this rate. I have friends affected by feudal alcohol syndrome... It just seems like there are too many negative effects to outweigh feeling drunk.

I'm going to try this little experiment, and see if there is any difference by the end of the month. I will be attending parties, hanging with friends, being around alcohol but will be staying sober. Also, I don't do drugs, or drink coffee, so my body will be completely free of cognitive-affecting substances. I'm going to be completely sober until the end of May. And NS, I urge you to challenge yourselves with this as well. I know it's not a big deal but hey, it could help. How great would a world, alcohol free be.
 
If you dont drink much, how are you even going to notice a difference? Power to ya for trying it out. I have to stay sober because of alot of shit thats happened over the past month. Ive done it before and with how heavily I drink, I can tell you that you DO feel alot better after a week or 2. The first week is usually the shittiest part. Being at a party sober sucks though but you do get to see (or at least I did) how retarded my friends and I used to get/look/act. It worked out well my first time untill all this shit was put on my shoulders and started goin hard in the paint again. Good luck, you wont have a problem because you dont do it enough in the first place.
 
Uhhhh, how about NO? Good on ya for doing what you want to do, i.e. sobriety, but don't push that on me. Ima do me...you do you....
 
Yeah, it's kind of like I would drink once every weekend (like get drunk), which is not that much, but I just don't see the point any more.

And thanks, I'm sure I won't have a problem :)
 
a) that is not a thing

b) FETAL alcohol syndrome is not a worry of yours since you cant get preggos. unless youre a girl bluename
 
a) and b) sorry I spelled it wrong. And just because it doesn't affect me does not mean it isn't an issue.
 
i have a long history of alcohol abuse in my family. thats why i stay drug and alcohol free.

oh excluding weed
 
Why would you do something like that?

Spend your nights chatting around like a pussy? Of course drinking too much makes you look stupid, but who cares? There is nothing wrong with letting go and YOLO'out once in a while.

Ease up a bit and keep the social club bullshit for when you're older.
 
It's not about looking stupid, it's about that I don't need substance abuse to have a good time, and that there aren't really any positive effects. It's mainly because of my uncle.. It's tough to see that he is killing himself, drinking himself away when his 12 year old son is going to have to grow up without a father.
 
You can use substances without abusing them. I'm sorry that your uncle was an alcoholic and you probably shouldn't drink heavily if your family has a history of alcohol abuse but there are many more people who can drink and lead successful lives than there are alcoholics.If you can't handle your shit... good for you don't drink but there are tons of positives to drinking if you're able to keep it under control.
 
This.

Just don't try to trick yourself into thinking that you can have just as much fun sober as drunk, That's just not true.
 
Yeah. Being drunk at a party is definitely more fun. But some of my best times have been had sober..

And it's not like I can't handle my liquor, or that I'm a pussy, or any of that.

I'm just gonna try it, see how it works out.
 
i quit drinking and smoking cigarettes but remain to smoke alot of weed and i feel amazing. The problem with partying sober (or just high) is that drunk people get really really annoying. With their dumb ideas and smelly breath it is hard to take..
 
I don't need substance nor alcohol to enjoy life. Sorry, It's just lame. I can have enough if not more fun sober.

JK I'm not a fucking square.

drunk people are fucking dreadful if you're not drunk.

I'm all for partying or not, fuck going to parties sober. I also dislike people though, if you like people I could see it being alright
 
I once got drunk in a zoo and spent 15 minutes taunting a lion. You can't get away with that shit sober.
 
Good on ya, OP. I have a tendency to drive home whilst drunk, which is TERRIBLE, so I quit drinking altogether. I didn't drink responsibly, so I just quit altogether. Just passed the 10 month mark, and it feels great!
 
there is a big difference between having a couple beers once in a while and dying from alcoholism.

Nothing wrong with being alcohol free though if that's your choice. You'll be very useful as a DD.
 
If I wasn't in college I would consider taking you up in that offer. You'll understand soon enough. Especially when it comes to caffeine. Coffee actually isn't that bad for you either in moderation.
 
Because of this thread im going to drink a whole lot more this weekend. HOW DOES THAT FEEL ON YOUR CONSCIENCE OP??
 
how old are you? Not that it changes much, just wondering if you are of legal age to drink where you live. And are you in university?
