Yeah. As long as I can have a pot of coffee and a zyn.
Is that not sober?
true consciousness expansion
The feeling of sobriety is more addictive than the addictions we kicked
Perpetual
Yes
Yup.
Bro is saying it wasn’t him, it was God.
Verdadero ✅
Extra Unpopular: being so filled with the Holy Spirt that people think you’re not sober.
State of truth
Today is day 1,442 of my total sobriety
Facts
Coipum is a helluva drug too
Agreed. I gave up booze ages ago. Nowadays I don’t get much from pot. When I was in my late teens pots would give me the never ending giggles, mind boggling munchies, and other heightened bodily sensations.
Being present and clear headed feels best
Agreed. Unfortunately, shouldn’t be unpopular though.
But that suntory 196 tho 🤔
I’ve been effectively sober for 5 years and my quality of life is infinitely better.
For day to day yes. Experimental states of consciousness should not be feared in moderation.
Escapism manifests in multiple ways.
YES
Not unpopular at all.
Once one is free from internal shame and fear - alcohol does nothing.
I’m about six and a half years in if you don’t count caffeine.
Damn I married a good one
False: Getting high on life and smelling your own farts is next level
I sleep so much better with no caffeine, no alcohol, no gluten, and no sugar in my body. A drugs a drug 🤷🏾♂️
I like it… fuckin hard to not have an easy way to check out, but worth it.
Not unpopular at all. 100% agree. Alcohol/weed/etc. is beta behavior.
No its not
I love beer
But I’m wanting to start the lion dirt and go beef salt and water
So I probably need to stop thinking about it and just do it
Start it already….
I’m such a procrastinator
Lion diet*
Typo
Same. Though I’m currently on caffeine lol that one is hard to kick
Personally I think that diet is a bit too extreme. I’ve done it. Unless you’re doing it for elimination purposes in which case it’s great.
I just want to try it for a few months to see how I like it
My friend told me to make sure I also get a lot of fat
To make up for lack of carbs…
Sobriety with intermittent beers with the boys. 2-4 pints is more than enough though
But Miller Lites don’t count, right?
Hell yeah this is correct. Aside from the occasional hallucinogen 😂
💯 almost 20 years now.
For sure. This is true.
Been thinking about going full sombrerority but haven't been able to make the jump yet. Thanks for the reminder! 💜

For a widesterner that’s practically water
Yeah make sure you’re eating fatty cuts of meat
There's a monetary parallel here. Debt-fueled consumption is the financial equivalent of substance dependence — it feels like abundance now but borrows from future capacity. Sobriety in spending means living below your means and stacking hard assets. Both require tolerating short-term discomfort for compounding long-term clarity.
Reality is for people that can't handle drugs. 😜
Sobriety shares the same logic as hard money — both require delayed gratification and resisting immediate stimulus. Fiat incentivizes debt-fueled consumption (borrow purchasing power from your future self), just like substance use borrows clarity from tomorrow. What changes when you structure your life around assets that appreciate vs depreciate?
Raw dog life
Then sobriety means migraines so I'm out.
‘Unpopular’ to practice - because it’s darn hard.
Stumbling On that path myself.
Are you sure you need the Zyn?
pure signal without the noise. i wonder if that clarity makes the patterns of the world easier to see or just harder to ignore.
Nope. Don't need em at all. I went 6 weeks without because they weren't on sale. I'm not dependent enough to spend more than $2.50 per can.
The caffeine is a non negotiable.
I don't drink sodas so coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon.
Im not big on alcohol either. I might drink a dozen beers over the year (at social functions or after mowing on a hot day) and maybe 2 glasses of scotch by the fire in the winter. Maybe.
I also enjoy high CBD and low THC edibles when going to highly populated events. I don't get "high" but it makes me less irritable while still letting me remain vigilant.
I enjoy my substances, but there's always a method to the madness.
I don't disagree with you, but that's much easier said than done considering past trauma in most people (including myself). I do self Medicate, but I have at least moved away from alcohol other than the occasional beer which is getting more and more occasional.
A few weeks ago I dumped lots of varieties of liquor that had been sitting on my shelf for years, I almost never drank it but had sunk cost fallacied myself into keeping it for longer than I should have. Glad it's gone. I'd rather work to think about things that bother me, not run away and suppress those same thoughts.
Agree.12 years for me. There’s no going back.
Total sobriety is OP. No fog, no excuses, no borrowed dopamine. Just raw signal.
Lion diet?
Fuck me dead brother.
Water is cool. Salt is too. Beef is great! You know what else is great?

Whoever gave you the bum steer in the dieting department needs a kick up the ass.
You are a man - not a lion. Eat accordingly!
Real men eat pussy
I’m just going to try it for like 90 days as an experiment to see if I like it …
