I think i need to quit alcohol and drugs altogether. I'm not addicted I just think the time has come to quit and focus on gains and other things, need to find out what I'm trying to escape when I do those drugs
34 days sober here (10 beers day) 34 days noporn nofat My gains at the gym have been spectacular and I feel like a God
Isaiah Fisher
Addiction doesn't feel like what you think. You'll just get cravings. It'll feel like "Man, I feel like getting x".
You're likely an addict.
Leo Martinez
Nice man!
Anything you'd recommend for someone looking to quit? Keep it up
Jace Adams
Hmm..
Possibly, fuck. i always feel like i'm not maybe i'm deluding myself
Leo Cruz
Lift in the evening (or at the moment you would you usually start drinking) and take melatonin to help you sleep. I used to drink from 10pm to 3am every night. Nowadays I lift from 10pm to midnight, then when I get back home I just lay in bed and watch a movie
Mason Hernandez
been sober over 3 years, got fit and all that other shit still wish i never stopped doing blow/oxys and downing vodka
Gabriel Rogers
Having an addiction to cigarettes helped me realize what addiction feels like. I'm a recovering alcoholic, I've known I've been addicted to alcohol just because I'd get cravings just like with cigarettes.
Grayson Parker
Nice meme
Kayden Jenkins
wish it was just a meme
William Hughes
How is the life of a drug addict better than a sobriety?
Landon Butler
I lift and eat clean during the week
At weekends I'll generally drink a lot of alcohol and consume various drugs, go to restaurants and eat outside my weekday macro goals, go to raves/parties that last >24hours etc.
Still in good shape and happy with my gains. Not fussed about maxing gains etc. to be honest.
Smashing beers, cocaine and cigarettes with friends is great fun to be quite honest.
Xavier Lewis
You're not going to like this, believe me it sucks because I've been there.
You have to get rid of your friends who use. I almost had a coke problem, I saw where it was going and immediately cut contact with the people who were giving it to me. Same with my drinking. Losers don't like seeing people succeed so they'll try to drag you down with them because it'll make themselves feel better about themselves. It's a tough pill to swallow, but these people are NOT your friends. They're crabs in a bucket.
i used to be a heavy drinker in college, realized around 23 it just made me feel like shit, smoke weed now for recreation
Cooper Parker
Just quit stop being a pussy about it

Wake up
Nolan Thompson
Are you able to have one drink without wanting more? How often do you drink? If you feel like youve hit rock bottom get your ass to a aa meeting. Theyre the only thing that worked for me after i fucked my life ive got 5 months sober now
Blake Jones
aah yes, I must be deluded - thanks for the tip mate x
Nathaniel Ortiz
>having a social life is insane
James Hughes
when you're a junkie you don't give a shit about anything, but now that i'm sober, everything hits me 10x harder
i just hate not having my little crutch to make all the problems go away and even 3 years later, i stil have the voice in the back of my head
Oliver Watson
>calling a drug problem a "social life"
Asher Hernandez
>consuming drugs every few weeks in a social setting constitutes a drug problem
lmao, dismal nerd.
Henry Myers
If you think consuming "a lot" of alcohol and doing drugs 2 days out of 7 is normal or not stopping your gains substantially, you indeed need to wake-up. You don't need alcohol and drugs in order to gave a good time. It's hurting both your health and wallet
Christian Powell
3/10
Nathaniel Young
If I had a drug test today I'd get 100%
Aaron Lopez
What problems do you have? Don't you know this human life is only temporary and the soul is immortal? Much, much more awaits
why do straight edge faggots always act holier than thou? >dude stop having fun lmao!
Nolan Davis
I feel you OP. I don’t want to quit completely but I’m definitely trying to cut way back and only party on special occasions.
Aaron Moore
>you don't need x to have a good time
Can be said of a great many things, but they certainly help.
Ryan Campbell
Because they don’t do anything but robotically go to the gym and go home to browse Jow Forums and can’t understand the concept that you can have fun with drugs and alcohol without being a destitute junkie.
Lucas Miller
Because I am holier than you. While you're out getting shitfaced, I cook and go to bed early. On sundays I patrol the streets of downtown and feed the homeless. I'm just trying to have a positive impact in the lives of others that weren't as fortunate as me I am not larping by the way
John Williams
>1988+30 >still doing "cocaine" M8, you do realize the "cocaine" you're doing is mostly lidocaine, flour, RC amps (hexen), and other various garbage, right?
Joseph Lee
Actual devout Christians don’t browse Jow Forums. Would your pastor approve of you viewing the content that regularly gets posted here?
God isn't a Christian, or a Buddhist or Muslim, those are all man-made systems based on man-written books. They all offer a small glimpse of God, but to live by those books would be a lack of judgement
lol this is pretty good bait, you blew it with the patrolling downtown though.
Ethan Turner
Spin it any way you want but Jow Forums is a sinful time waster and surely your time on the internet would be better spent on something else but here you are on a board that has threads like this
Josiah Thomas
I am bro. Been a week so far. Last weekend I got btfo on coke and whiskey. Time to change.
Andrew Morgan
>sinful time waster My activity on Jow Forums mainly consists of advising new lifters and supporting people trying to lose weight and improve their life. How is that sinful?
Hunter Carter
ex heroin addict with 8 months sober here. working out has kept me sober this long. everytime i get a craving i just go straight to the gym sometimes im at the gym 2 or 3 times in a day, not often but it does happen. AA meetings are a big help too, i got to at least 1 a week. ive also been seeing a psychiatrist for help with underlying issues. that sounds like something you might want to check out.
Jose Taylor
BRAAAAAAAAPPPPPP
Wyatt Bailey
tell myself the same every other binge. Thankfully i still manage to keep it at once or twice a week but I think it aint so bad
Aiden Brown
Have you tried a step program? They're supposed to be good with residual shit like that
Brody Kelly
Weird, I developed a coke habit to quit my drinking habit.
Xavier Bennett
If you really need help find an AA in your area. Be open to this idea. >"I'm not addicted." heh okay
Easton Rodriguez
tfw when i will never be able to do drugs again, brought back with narcan from overdosing on speedballing H and some bomb ass cocaine... sober since dec 2...i am 1/2/3/4 however, and gaining all the time, will i make it?
David Scott
18 months sober after having a 24 beer + 90mg federally + 6mg Klonopin day habit. I'm definitely an addict and can't do any drugs safely. Best I've felt in my life and I can't see myself ever wanting to drink/drug again.
