I like being sober too. Sobriety is not some sacred state of being. That’s essentially just the naturalistic fallacy.
And I like myself. A lot actually.
I have asked myself these questions. The longest stretch I’ve been sober as an adult was when I got railroaded out of dental school in the final semester and lost ‘everything.’ I spent like 8 weeks ? (who knows) in bed. Too numb to even get high. Or kill myself. Was a living corpse.
Decided I was done groveling to the system and depending on their permission to work and was going to live on my own terms. And I have.
The dark cloud of depression and anxiety that loomed over me thoughout my 20s is gone. I don’t dread each day any longer. I only set an alarm maybe once a month now. I don’t have to bc I wake up each early morning naturally with a purpose.
I’ve got 5 people working for me and shit to do. And I prefer to do that high. Not too high tho bc then it comes inhibitory. It’s a balance.
