    I was about to say “I’m drug free!” But then I read your first three listed drugs and was like fuck, I forgot that weed, alcohol, and caffeine were drugs lmao. They’re just legal.

    Weed and alcohol is very rare for me, maybe once or twice a month, but I literally depend on caffeine as an antidepressant.

    I should probably see a therapist.

      I guess I wouldn’t consider hormones or nutrients drugs, but the nature of the question would rule out supplements I think.

      Altering your perception of reality doesn’t need to be centered around escaping challenges.

    I both love it and hate it. I’m proud of going through it all without substances and yet I often find myself hating life, and I have a hard time waking up. So, yeah. That’s how.

    Yeah, going quite well. I like the clarity of mind. A few years ago, I once took some painkillers and even three weeks later, my mind still felt hazy at times, like I couldn’t concentrate fully. Not worth it, at all.

    …does tea count? Or sugar? Jerking off and video games are enough for me.

    My only real problem now seems to be finding a relationship, so life’s great.

    I also have zero interest in those drugs though. Coffee tasted bitter. Alcohol tastes bad, and when I got tipsy once I just felt mild inconvenience walking, I think. Smoking smells bad. Never saw weed with my own eyes. A friend had me try yerba mate telling me it’d give me a kick like coffee, especially if I never tried it, but I just didn’t feel anything special.

    You have to define “drug” much more specifically because many compounds that our bodies produce are also medical treatments.

    Dang, no caffeine? You’re strict. I would like to think I don’t need caffeine, I just like the ritual of drinking coffee and when I don’t I feel slightly more pure, not that that helps me like myself anymore lol

    Yep, it’s me.

    Well, reality is not a rawdogging for me. Life can be difficult sometimes, however I always take time to contemplate small things and enjoy them. For example, when I feel bad, I concentrate on birds flying and I imagine all the amazing and complex machinery inside of their bodies for example. Of course, this is not the perfect solution that annihilates all the problems (spoiler: it doesn’t exist), but this helps me feel better and not feeling too bad.

    I never smoked anything, never was drunk, don’t drink coffee. I never saw a point in any of that. If you can change something, do it. If you cannot, then accept it. I don’t see the point in wasting energy on things that cannot be changed.

    I think this could be the premise of a reality show. Take 20 people and cut them off from everything and see how they do. It’s an interesting thought experiment for how we would all individually do with it.

      Mormons don’t drink coffee because it’s hot, not because its caffienated they get a lot of caffiene via soda.
