This sub seems to mostly be about alcohol, but my struggle is mostly with other substances. I don't think I've been sober for more than... 3 days? In the past year. Being sober just feels... so scary. I have some mental issues, undiagnosed, but pretty bad depression, and I use substances to cope. I hate sitting with my thoughts, especially because without the numbness and enjoyment of being intoxicated, I often spiral with bad thoughts while sober. But I WANT to be sober. I'm young, I'm sick of wrecking my body already with drugs, I really want to be able to enjoy life while sober. Its just so, so hard to drown out the thoughts without drugs. I would absolutely love tips from those who have gone sober, how you cope otherwise, and how to truly get a clear mind for once
Edit : I should also add, I almost only use at night, thats when I spiral the worst, and without the numbness of weed I struggle to sleep. I very rarely indulge during the day, but because its become such a routine of night = getting high, its so hard to break the pattern and just sleep
