Actually, basketball and football are a lot better when you don’t drink for a while. I stopped drinking a 2 weeks ago, i sometimes want to drink, but it’s cheaper and easier this way lol ---

Most things we do cost money, so most alternatives to drinking will cost money. I’ll throw another vote in for fixing up the bike and doing some riding. I’m thinking about doing that myself. You don’t have to put much money into a bike to keep it going. I’ve found the best way for me to keep busy without spending money is to work more. This works well for the women in your lives to. If they’re at work they’re not out shopping. ---

> [@66impalass\`](#): > > uhm my post was a joke obv. mine was too. i dont do drugs(besides the occasional toke) i was entertainging the idea that there are much worse things out there than weed and beer. …however, when beer(and/or weed) become something in your life that takes up most of y our time, and you feel that without it(them) you cant be normal, THEN something is wrong and you should seek help… …biking/excersizing work for lots of people, but not some…so DAZE, if soberdom is what you want, and you want that sober time to be as fun as being drunk was, then find something to fill those voids where alcohol once was. whatever that may be for you, make sure it is healthy and not yayZ,the smack or the rock, cause that will put you financially worse off then when you started. ---

> [@GSTairs](#): > > why do that to yourself? can’t you be happy and have fun without it? why smoke pot? idk, in middle/high school its what i did, all the time. literally. i was ALWAYS high. ALWAYS. now, wokring 60-70 hours a week and getting ready for school and stuff i have made MY OWN decision to ween that out of my lifestyle, who knows, maybe i stop completely(which would be a the first time in a long time that i would be COMPLETELY sober). HOWEVER, at this point in my life, i do not feel getting blazed 1-2 times A WEEK, meaning not everyday, not every-other day, maybe not for a whole week i wont smoke is a bad thing…which is good for me. but as for right now, i dont mind getting a little high once in a good while. Maryjuana is not bad, in fact DR.s would not prescribe it if it was, countries would not legalize it if it was and colorado would not decriminalize it to the point where public smoking is not illegal. Some people do not agree with that. you obviously don’t thats your choice. and you made it all by yourself…if i want to get a little high once in awhile. that is my choice. its not something i need, or something that gets my trhough my day. its something i do when my day is done and i have nothing to do but sit back, relax and enjoy the high life. end. ---
