Straight edge

straight edge is the cool way to be sober and not be so whiney about it. who cares it’s just not doing a thing, there a cool straight edge punk band called minor threat and you should listen to them instead of going to another depressing aa meeting…

It's not really about whining. It's more of looking for solutions or confronting issues that may make somebody drink or drug. Some people might complain, but in all reality, it may be tougher for them compared to you. In the long run, it's best to have multiple forms of support. Be it a.a. ,this app, therapy, or being straight edge. In the long run not giving in to addict behavior is what matters, and it may be life and death for some.

my main thing with aa is that it constantly reminds me of drinking and drugging and i was looking for a energy release that could supplement that and that’s what helped. i also find that not counting the days your sober helps

Sobriety or not drinking is definitely not just a one-way solution for sure man. Whatever works for you works for you.
