It sucked.

You must be playing some Destiny? Honestly video games have been really helping to keep me sober. It didn't happen right away but I can play a lot better sober than I ever could drinking. It's been my fall back to sink time away from cravings.

I already have over 450 hours on my Monster Hunter World save file, that game is downright fun.

I don't like to be around drinking people when I'm sober so I can see how gaming with them would be a drag. Most of the people I game with are just internet people, I do game with an old friend who lives out of state. He knows not to talk about it with me.
