Being sober is a trend now.

I’m a little bit of an all-or-nothing guy but I think self-control can be done differently. I’m not necessarily sober but I choose not to drink most of the time. Self-discipline is the idea. Soberness is a label that people want to live under.

Good for you.

Not really. It’s easy for me. I don’t have an addictive personality. Some people do. I can only imagine how proud someone must feel if they’ve been sober for a long time when it is a challenge to be.

That's not me.
I've been to rehab and failed.

Being sober for me is easy... By not being interested in alcohol to begin with, let alone build a habit around it.


However, abstaining from, say, sugar addiction? Guilty pleasures of screen time? Which is my kind of addiction.

Hmmm...
If I succeed, I wouldn't say I'll be proud of the so called accomplishment of unlearning crap, I'll just say I'm tired and wasted time and energy over having to deal with that...

And then wondering what to replace what with what. One would choose something like, say, exercising or something productive.

But no...
It's kinda like special interests -- sometimes it's not a choice, it's just something dropped on your lap.
And pray whatever what is being replaced with isn't another addiction in a different form to contend with.

I’m not a doctor but I think it would take months to forget how the drugs or alcohol make you feel. That would be a long stint in a rehab. Hopefully it isn’t keeping you away from life too much, Raleigh. Good luck.
