Told myself when I graduated I was going to leave it all behind. December 2009 was my last high. Never felt anything going 100% cold turkey on everything.
Now, if you ask me to go 24 hours without some sort of processed sugar? There's a greater than 0% chance I'll kill you.
Best of luck to you.
I'm somewhat similar. I went from doing all the drugs I could get my hands on in my 20s to doing zero drugs whatsoever in a pretty short period of time with no real issues. I even had a pretty significant opiate phase at one point that just kind of went away on it's own. I never planned it. I never got into trouble or "intervened". It just didn't fit into my lifestyle and went by the wayside.
I admit that if weed wasn't illegal and I wasn't getting drug tested at work, I'd almost certainly still smoke. Perhaps that day will come at some point with the way laws are changing. Either way, I can handle it.
I've always been into lifting, but I feel like working out definitely replaced drugs for me. If I go a few days without, even if I'm banged up or hurting, it weighs on me mentally. I absolutely hate downtime. Idk, the feeling after a solid workout and the sleep that it allows me to get are something I don't like going without.
