I can't imagine life sober
I'm literally drunk right now I'm starting a program tomorrow and they expect me not to drink or do any drugs throughout it and I cannot imagine going through life being sober 100% of the time.
Anyone else a substance abuser here and got through life doing it 5% or 10% of the time because I cannot imagine 0% of the time but my sibling tells me I need to be 100% sober 100% of the time otherwise I'll fail

once you start living sober you'll realize its not as hard as you thought. you've used alcohol for a crutch.

It's not hard just fucking boring.
I've gone months without drinking/smoking/dosing
I used to get fucked up Friday-Sunday every week for almost a year. Now I'm 6 months sober. It's not bad you just have to do other stuff. I've been reading a lot of books, skiing, gambling, and skydiving. Drugs are cheaper but at least other stuff gives me cool FB pics and memories with normies.

I like to do things WHILE being drunk/high/etc, that's the problem.
Used to do heroin. Clean 3 years, it's hard the first year but it gets easier. You also gotta change people, places, and things ©®™. Seriously though that helps me stay clean

Pretty much this. I thought I was an alcoholic, but I'm really just a binge drinker. I can easily get into a multi-day binge, but then I dry out for a couple of days and then I'm fine and go weeks or months without it and I feel fine. I'm not saying it's a healthy way to live, and my binge drinking has caused problems for me, but there is a difference between what I am and an actual clinical alcoholic.
