How important is it to you to be able to "tune out" with intoxicants?

Nicotine is a drug

I read one time it's more addictive than h.

Fuck off Moobs, I'm drinking...

[Skyway]

Never got into drugs and didn't care much for the taste of alcohol. The last time I drank I had 2 beers on New Year's Eve, 1976. I do like like coffee and drink a big cup every morning.


How do you like your coffee?

I only drink lightly a few times a year (usually when my mom visits) and I can certainly live without ever having booze again (except when my mom visits). I'm not against it....I just don't find it that appealing. No drugs for me either......no interest and certainly not worth getting fired over.

Weed, Booze, etc etc

If you were suddenly thrown into 100% sobriety for the remainder of your life, how hard of an adjustment would that be for you?? .. Would/could life be as enjoyable??

I'm the last person that I'd have guessed would ever lead a sober life..... Cant say sobriety's been as enlightening as some of the lifer A.A. types speak about... Life's definitely been enhanced in some aspects... But, in others, its not quite as festive

sometimes when you got no plans you just feel like getting piss drunk, am I right?

[2Manboobs]

I don't think so. Alcohol would not be a problem at all. I'd be bummed if I could never smoke weed again, but i don't think it would make me lose my mind or anything.


Are we also talking about cigarettes?

Indeed.. All the vices must go

Oddly enough, when I quite smoking in the mid-90's, I only had cravings for about a week... After that, I never thought about them again.... But, booze was a whole different beast for me

That would be the toughest. Went 9 months straight last Fall/Winter.....don't even remember how I was sucked back in.

That's when I'm at my worst... Sitting around watching TV or listening to the radio gets real old, real quick for me... A few Rum & Cokes always made the down time much more enjoyable.

Did you ex wife enjoy the drink too? That can make it difficult to improve yourself.
