Awww shucks thank you ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

You're welcome. ๐Ÿ™‚

Some of the best people Iโ€™ve met in this community are sober.

Per capita plebs are definitely up there. ๐Ÿ˜€

I too am inspired by those who show proof of work through sobriety. Itโ€™s honestly cool as shit.

Awww ๐Ÿฅฐ hugs ๐Ÿซ‚ brother

It ainโ€™t easy but itโ€™s worth it. Sober people get shit done.

Just celebrated 9 yrs

Congrats!!! That is incredible

One day at a time

Congratulations ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽ‰

This guy! I rarely have a glass of wine or a beer. Does that count?

I've had more than one drink one time in 4-5 years, don't do drugs and plan on staying that way.

If that works for you it's a good thing. Can be different for each person. Some people can't stop at 1.

No drink or drugs for seven years now. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿค™

Heck yeah. Congratulations! Got you followed.

I only drink @ the week we celebrate halloween and after that sober for the hole year. But its only that i can handle the normie talk for a couple days with frens and fan . Always be positive and laugh. Followd ๐Ÿซ‚

Whenever I try that the alcohol hits like a brick wall and you remember why you donโ€™t haha.

Yipp i remember . Glad everybody going home tommorow time to chill and relax ๐Ÿซก

16 years sober. But I need work in the positivity department.

Wow congrats on 16 years!!! Shows others that it's possible. It can be tough to be positive sometimes.

what do U mean by sober?

For me, no alcohol, no weed, and no mind altering substances. Complete sobriety. Not easy initially, but life changing.

Don't forget no books!!!

Wait what lul ๐Ÿ˜…

mind altering substances ๐Ÿ˜‰

coffee, nicotine, prescription drugs all out then? serious ? sober from heroin longtime & don't drink, no prescriptions but......

I drink coffee โ˜•๏ธ, somehow stayed away from chewing tobacco from four years now. Was on antidepressants and anxiety meds for a bit. I've heard alot of stories about addictive painkillers. Never tried them when drinking, but want to avoid that risk. My back and hip was messed up pretty bad earlier this week, had to go to hospital. Only Tylenol and some light muscle relaxants. Told doctor I didn't want anything else.

Congrats on your sobriety! ๐Ÿซ‚

t-y SoberGrizzlyBTC. do U know Bill?

You're welcome. Yes, I am a friend of Bill. ๐Ÿค

Drugs are boring

Sober (except coffee)

It can be pedantic sometimes

To what extent does the food we eat alter our consciousness?

Someone wrote that all things we eat alter the consciousness. An apple is also psychedelic, like LSD, but not so strong.

I think it was Timothy Leary or Robert Anton Wilson.

First it sounds weird, but when you think about that most things we consume are getting into our blood circulation and crossing the blood brain barrier, it's reasonable to say it.

if you're keto or something

and eat a plate of pasta after 4mos of no carbs its becomes clear pretty quick I think

everything is like that

that why "sobriety", although admirable,

is kinda a myth

If you put it that way, sure absolutely.

I think most people are talking about legal and illegal drugs when they talk about sobriety.

yeah for sure

i just mean there are subtle levels of consciousness.

it's good to aspire to clarity.

"levels" isnt really putting it the right way.

but you know what I mean.

Interesting point about food. There is room for improvement with my diet.

Curious if that makes you *more* sober

or if it adjusts your consciousness to a preferable state ๐Ÿ˜‰

Gotta have the coffee โ˜•๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Coffeein is a hell of a drug๐Ÿ˜‚

Necter of the gods! โ˜•

Yup. 15 years...

Congrats! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Thank you! I honestly can't even remember the other way. Still have friends that wake up hungover, I can't even imagine....

Sober for nearly 2 years now, went from heavy substance user most of my adult life to not even consuming candy or cookies anymore.

Congrats on 2 years! What helped with avoiding snacks and sugar?

Simple really; the low time preference mindset thanks to Bitcoin. I know me and my daughter have a bright future ahead of us so I want to be at the best, fittest possible version of myself when I'm old so she doesn't have to take care of me and can focus on her own family. To me, quitting something completely is the only way to not crave it. That's why I'm seen as the crazy guy for declining every seemingly harmless temptation.

I was additives video games, only time I play them now is with my son. But none on my own

Yeah, I used to spend so much much time on video games. Since finding #Bitcoin and going back to college, I cut that out completely too. Good work!

nostr:npub1nthvv0sglny3nzr89kemd8rz7rxa9jtcq6mcc78lk87c3vmcksxsvl24gw #thanks for the #zap

Positivity is the only way up ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ

Sober more than a decade.

Incredible ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป got you followed!

๐Ÿ‘‹

Sober as in alcohol? That's a massive yes, three years-ish and not counting.

That's along time without a drink. Nice work. I'm an alcoholic so yeah avoid booze at all costs personally. One day at a time.

I mean Iโ€™m sober right now..

yeah. everyday before lunchtime

Yeah Iโ€™m not now..

welcome to nostr

thank you!

yes ๐Ÿซ‚

2014 Nov 14

Almost 10 years! Thanks for sharing your sobriety birthday. Mine is 09/09/2020 ๐Ÿซ‚

Congrats that is an incredible achievement, about to turn 10 years!

Thank you. That means a lot. Bitcoin is my new community so it can feel insignificant compared to generational wealth ๐Ÿ™

It is not, because it is your life ๐Ÿงก You can have all the wealth in the world, but if you are not living your life how you would like to live it then what the hell are you doing anyways?

Nicotine and caffeine only

More California sober with a drink here and there.

I beat the demons though. And drink a lot less than I used to.

Productivity way up. Stronger. And more energy.

Alcohol is a shitcoin

I never really started drinking and maybe just have one or two every couple months. Iโ€™ll admit I donโ€™t post much though

Never done any drug my whole life. Alcohol really was never my thing either. Although will have one for special occasions, birthdays weddings but thats it.

Kombucha and Tea are my new crutches.

Same here ๐Ÿ˜Š and water kefir too

Donโ€™t really drink much except for the occasional drink. Way to go on your journey! How long have you been sober?

Thanks. A little over 4 years now.

Keep it up! I know itโ€™s not always easy.

Yep, 8 months.

Congrats on your sobriety! Got you followed ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿป

Right here Brother

I am but havenโ€™t posted only replied

๐Ÿซก ๐Ÿ‡ ๐Ÿฐ

6495 days ODAAT. Duly followed.

That is like 17 years according to a calculator ๐Ÿคฏ ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Itโ€™s easy bro, I just donโ€™t do anything dumb before I go to bed lmao

๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ Meโ€ฆabout since 20 years probably โ˜บ๏ธ

Two decades amazing. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

When you give up substances that stimulate your being in a way that controls you instead of you controlling yourself, it's time to let go of those substances. In addition, you become more and more sensitive and start to build dynamic energy from within. This is one reason why I don't even smoke plants or drink caffeine... I prefer sober conversations with other people. It's much more authentic and profound because it doesn't come from being freed from inhibitions thanks to substances... it comes from the desire to share profound things and that has to do with courage. Courage to open up to the other person from within ๐ŸŒž Have a lovely Sunday ๐Ÿ’œ

Very well put. Thanks for sharing your experience. Have a great Sunday! ๐Ÿซ‚

You are very welcome...On an other note: we don't have to be prefect ๐Ÿ˜‰ Taking life more playful would do good to all of us.

Wishing yo a beautiful Sunday too ๐Ÿซ‚๐ŸŒž

Off and on

Never was a heavy drinker but stopped 4y ago after trying dry jan and never had the urge to have a drink since. Health is my no1 prio

Got sober 4 years ago, October 22nd 2020.

A good choice, and I have absolutely no intention of going back to alcohol. ๐Ÿงก

Pura Vida ๐Ÿ๏ธ

Quit drinking just over a year ago now, quit smoking weed about 20yrs ago and cigs about 15yrs ago, or whenever they reached about $10CAD per pack. I hear theyโ€™re over $20 per pack now.

Trying really hard to eat nutrient dense foods. Lots of steak & eggs!

1 full week no alcohol today. Iโ€™m hoping to realize more energy, more motivation and a clear mind. Second kid is on the way and gotta be my best for them. Feeling better so far but itโ€™s a marathon

We started making homebrew Kombucha instead of beer, because we didn't want to wreck our health. Best decision.
