Could you be sober

Could you be sober for a year?

 

I spent 18 years being sober, so sure. The question is, would I want to be sober for a year? The answer would be no. lol

 

What would you classify as sober? No what?

 

Sober is sober. That means your all natural from drugs just as you were born

 

Yea i could be sober for a year. I quit doing any of the hard shit years ago so thats already out of my system and mind. I quit cigs and haven't touched one since 2007. I finally gave up alcohol and im 7 months sober from it. The only thing i do is smoke weed. I could give it up for a year, no problems. If i can quit drinking i feel i can quit anything.

Chances are in a year n a half ill be moving and because of that process i will be unable to smoke for a while given where ill be going. It would be the first time i'd be 100% sober in 8 years.

 

im 35 years sober

i use pain meds lately but i could survive without them..id just have more pain

 

i could but i wouldn't because i enjoy drinking

rather i am that guy who instead knows when enough is enough.

 

Yeah but I wouldn't want to.this world is so fucked up I need somethingto help me escape reality for a few hours and help me sleep without the risk of addiction.

 

if you need something that means its an addiction ...right?

 

^^^ this

 

A year without a cocktail?! Are you crazy?!

That would be difficult...

 

I'd have to be chained to a tree some place very remote to go without coffee. Everything else I've either kicked or didn't get addicted to in the first place. I hate to say it, but I feel like I would die without a little caffeine everyday.

 

Not for me.I can accomplish the same thing by hiding under the hood of a car, building models or something.ive been smoking for about 2 years.didn't start till I was 31 gotta have my coffee and cigs though.

 

i NEED music.. does it mean im addicted to it? maybe.. .does it mean its harming me? doubtful

 

Sober as in "not overtly impaired and impacted by a drug" or sober as in "not having any trace of a drug, even in sub-impairment quantities in your system."

I could go sober for a year if all it meant was not getting 'fucked up' on any drug. But if it means 100% abstinence from ANY drug intake (even if it doesn't lead to impairment at all), I will be the first one to admit that it would be a HELL of hard thing to do.

 

Sober is overrated, but yeah I've gone cold turkey for months at a time, boring though so whatever..

 

No, I couldn't because I take medicines that I need for survival..

But recreationally, yes, I could.

 

For sure, I think I have made it close before. I'm high on life... especially in the summer. All I need is a nice, green place to lay in the sun. Natural high right there.

 

i think seizedbyanger has a better definition; "recreationally sober"


i don't think i'm very impaired when i'm stoned, but of course i wouldn't consider it sober.

the hardest thing for me would be weed. hands down. i could give up alcohol without missing it really, but weed would be hard.

i could go a year without tylenol or any medication, unless i got really ill.
i could go a year without a trace of nicotine or caffeine (damn i guess chocolate is out)

but weed. yeah, that'd be a tuffy

oh yeah, and i like to trip

i'd give up smoking before i'd give up tripping. smoking is less beneficial for me

 

i could go without drugs for a year, for sure.

i definitely couldn't make it through a week (probably even a few days..) without alcohol.
..representing the prideful and immovable alcoholics, haha
