So Lizella, you will never feel this good sober. You will have to accept that. But the price for those few hours of that euporhic high is enormous: you will seriously damage your mind and body; you will hurt family and friends; you will do shameful things you would never do sober. And you may eventually die from substance abuse. And in time, if you become addicted, you will no longer feel that euporhic high; you will end up needing to use a substance to just feel normal.
So ask yourself if those few hours of "feeling good" are worth the price?
But the high from drugs is pretty short lived... few hours at the most... And after using over and over multiple times a day for years, you don't even get high anymore. You just get to baseline... maybe a little above baseline. And when you return to sober, you go under baseline and feel like ****... But if you stay sober and work on sobriety... you start to feel way better than you ever could from substances.
