Dealing with life on life's terms
This post isn't intended to offend; I'm genuinely curious to gauge opinion as it's something I'm struggling with.
Okay, so I've heard the title phrase bandied around a lot about sobriety, but I've noticed many people - here and IRL - rely on other forms of medication to deal with things, be it benzos, cannabis, SSRIs, and the like.
But is this true sobriety? Aren't these not chemical crutches? I'm not judging those who take such things as I've relied on two of the examples given - and more.
I'm just feeling somewhat despondent about a straightedge life when many of the people I look up to use other pacifiers to get them through the day.
Thanks for reading.
