No weed, no alcohol, no caffeine, no meds, nothing legal or illegal.
If this describes you, how you doing with your rawdogging of reality?
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.
Do you consider naturally occuring hormones to be drugs?
I guess I wouldn’t consider hormones or nutrients drugs, but the nature of the question would rule out supplements I think.
Sweet!
(injects more adrenaline)
This describes me.
There’s plenty of cool things in life to enjoy that gets you through hard times that aren’t drugs. I run a lot and exercise for mental health, etc. Never felt the need or desire to alter my perception of reality. Would rather face up to it and deal with things head-on.
Then again, I don’t really know any different. I’ve always been drink and drug free.
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.
Take the good with the bad!
You have to define “drug” much more specifically because many compounds that our bodies produce are also medical treatments.
just living, but sometimes it feels reality is rawdogging me though. But that’s just life.
…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.
No weed, no alcohol, no caffeine, no meds, nothing legal or illegal.
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.
Food… is a drug.
No really. Our body reacts to our diet in very strong ways. There is great debate about the “best diet”, but the one thing people can agree on is there are bad diets. (I.e. just whisper keto in a health community, taking people’s carbs away is like killing their pets)
We should consider all of our inputs when gauging our health.
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
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.
I think only Mormons are that strict
Mormons don’t drink coffee because it’s hot, not because its caffienated they get a lot of caffiene via soda.
The ones I used to work with didn’t drink anything with caffeine. Never heard of the hot thing.
So apparently it’s something even Mormons are confused about but official doctrine is that caffeine is not a problem. The one guy I knew was fine with caffeine

: In 2012, the church released an official statement stating explicitly that caffeinated soda is allowed under church doctrine. Still, many Mormons will not consume caffeinated drinks.
I’m supposed to be on adhd meds, but I’m on break so I’ve stopped. Don’t really feel any diffrent.
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.
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.
