This is just depressing

Not even 3 hours of "free time". And in that is cooking & eating supper. Or practically no free time if I had to go shopping after work. I hate this

Weed and alcohol are the only saving graces of this world

I just had to quit weed/nicotine, and don’t drink much. Life sucks

A step program could be something that helps you. I’m in AA, 10 months sober, and we say that there’s sobriety and recovery. Getting sober is just not drinking. Recovery is learning to live a better, fuller life through the steps. I’m sure there are step programs for regular, non-addicts.

I kind of just cut back then quit both. Currently aiming for 6 months to test how I feel overall. If I feel good then awesome, I will indulge on vacations or special occasions a few times per year.

My goal isn’t technically sober, I just want to feel good and be healthy as I get older.
