Everyone is different. I know that advice like this leads down a dark path for me personally, I've lived the proof, and an currently recovering from an attempt at control. We all have a different path through life.

Having more energy, free time, money, and clarity is what I consider “fun”
Yeah anybody who doesn't understand addiction just doesn't understand, that controlling your drinking/drug use just isn't possible.
Yeah, addictive substances are addictive substances. I’m happy some people have never left and will never leave the shallow end of the pool, but it’s a dangerous game either way
Congrats on 8 days brother, sobriety brought me the greatest happiness I have ever known. My wife and family, places to live, financial stability, etc. plus the inner peace and mental clarity can't be beaten. I still smoke weed but I don't consider that a drug, been sober for 3 years with minor slips here and there.
Congrats dude!
FWIW Weed scores near zero on the total harm scale. Whereas alcohol beats our heroin and crack to top the list
