Here’s a list of reasons to stop doing drugs, reflecting both personal and societal impacts:

Health and Well-being

Improved Physical Health: Drugs can damage your organs, immune system, and overall health. Quitting allows your body to heal and regain strength.

Mental Clarity: Drugs impair cognitive function and can lead to memory loss, mood swings, and poor decision-making. Staying clean improves focus and emotional stability.

Longer Life: Many drugs, especially those that are addictive, can lead to chronic health issues or early death. Quitting improves life expectancy.

Reduced Risk of Overdose: Stopping drug use lowers the risk of fatal overdose, which is especially high with opioids, cocaine, or synthetic drugs.

Better Sleep: Drugs disrupt your sleep cycle. A drug-free life often leads to more restful and rejuvenating sleep.

No More Dependency: Drugs can lead to physical and psychological dependence. Stopping breaks that cycle and regains autonomy.

Financial Benefits

Save Money: Drugs can be incredibly expensive, draining your financial resources. Quitting gives you the freedom to allocate money towards more positive things.

Avoid Legal Problems: Many drugs are illegal, and possessing or distributing them can result in fines or imprisonment.

More Job Opportunities: Drug use can affect your ability to maintain employment, hold a stable job, or even qualify for certain positions, especially those that require drug testing.

Social and Emotional Impact

Improved Relationships: Drugs often strain relationships with family, friends, and partners. Staying clean helps you build trust and improve communication.

Self-Esteem: Overcoming addiction can boost self-confidence and lead to a more positive self-image.

Regain Control: Quitting drugs gives you back control of your life, decisions, and actions.

Personal Growth and Goals

Achieving Goals: Drugs can hinder your ability to pursue and achieve personal, academic, or career goals. Staying sober allows for focus and determination.

Pursuing Passions: When you're not preoccupied with drug use, you have more time and energy for hobbies, interests, and activities that enrich your life.

Better Emotional Resilience: Sobriety helps you develop healthy coping mechanisms for stress, anxiety, and life's challenges, making you more resilient in the long run.

Relationships and Family

Be a Positive Role Model: If you have children or younger siblings, staying clean can help set a positive example for them.

Strengthen Family Bonds: Drug use often creates tension and distance in families. Sobriety can rebuild and strengthen these vital relationships.

Environmental and Societal Impact

Reduce Crime Rates: Many drug-related issues, like trafficking or violence, can have broader social consequences. Staying clean can reduce your involvement in these cycles.

Improved Communities: When more people quit drugs, communities can become safer and healthier environments to live in.

Ultimately, quitting drugs is about reclaiming your life—your health, your relationships, your finances, and your future.

HOW MUCH LIQUOR
Lyrics and Music By 
JR Greely Copyright:2025

How much liquor does it take, 
to drink me off your mind. 
To steal your warm heart 
and  numb your feelings blind. 
Is it just 1 drink, 
or ain't 1000 drinks enough. 
Will it always be your choice, 
how much pain you want to stuff. 

CHORUS
Turn the wine back into water, 
turn the whiskey back to grain. 
Cling to that someone special, 
I'll guide you to the wagon train. 
All alone in your empty home, 
with liquor on your breath. 
Someday there'll be no choice,
when you die a lonely death.


How much liquor does it take, 
to bury all the hurt away, 
To calm your cold and trembling hands, 
to rise and face the day. 
Is it just 2 drinks, 
or ain't 2000 drinks enough. 
Will it always be your choice, 
when you think life is to rough. 

CHORUS
Turn the wine back into water, 
turn the whiskey back to grain. 
Cling to that someone special, 
I'll guide you to the wagon train. 
All alone in your empty home, 
with liquor on your breath. 
Someday there'll be no choice, 
when you die a lonely death. 

BRIDGE
Will 1 bottle be all it takes, 
until you've lost your wits. 
Will it take a 6 foot grave, 
before you call it quits. 
 

CHORUS
Turn the wine back into water, 
turn the whiskey back to grain. 
Cling to that someone special, 
I'll guide you to the wagon train. 
All alone in your empty home, 
with liquor on your breath.
Someday there'll be no choice,
when you die a lonely death.

TAG
How much liquor will it take.
How much liquor ....... does ..... it take.

17 Hours

Today is my ten-year sobriety birthday. Ten years without a drink. Ten years of showing up for life instead of running from it.

In this episode I share honestly about how I first got sober in my 20s in AA in London, how I drifted away, and how one ordinary morning at the school gates changed everything. The woman I bumped into that day — someone I’d known from those early meetings — became my sponsor. Over coffee after the school run we talked recovery, motherhood, and how to get through just one more day. Those chats anchored me.

Since then, I’ve stayed sober through divorce, burnout, homelessness, heartbreak, and the messy, beautiful realities of parenting and relationships. Sobriety has given me the chance to be a present mother, not a perfect one. It’s also given me the freedom to date without clinging, without losing myself.

I talk about moving from digital marketing to nursing, from chaos to calm, from living to impress to living in truth. Most of all, I talk about joy — the kind that isn’t dependent on anyone or anything outside of me.

This isn’t a how-to or a polished “ten steps to success” story. It’s just me, ten years sober, reflecting on what I’ve learned, what I’ve survived, and why I still only ever take it one day at a time.

History Repeats @imregii

Sober in October by Chad Walt is a raw and heartfelt ballad about the struggle of choosing sobriety and the quiet battles that come with it. Through vivid lyrics like celebrating a birthday alone by fridge light, hiding trembling hands in a thrift store jacket pocket, or finding old memories in a forgotten polaroid, the song captures the loneliness, temptation, and reflection that follow giving up alcohol. The recurring chorus with images of black coffee steam, heavy mornings, and the haunting feeling of loss paints sobriety as both a burden and a path toward clarity. Walt balances pain with hope, showing that while each day feels longer and heavier there is also the pursuit of chasing the silence where peace might be found. It is an intimate exploration of struggle, resilience, and the search for softer truer joy through clear eyes.

SOBER IN OCTOBER

Hello Everyone; so this is my Story of being recently Homeless and how we nearly died several times but were saved by Jesus Christ himself. We trusted someone who betrayed us so we decided to move forward as we Lost our Home, those whom we trusted and fell victim to the streets of Portland Oregon where when the Sun falls so Night may rise, so do the Living Dead. I wish this was just some propaganda but unfortunately the Zombie Apocalypse is already existing on our planet and the Virus is a Drug called Fentanyl which turns a Healthy Human Being into a spontaneous violent monster whom people nicknamed them as "Fetty Users", "Fetty Woppers" or "Fetties" and it's extremely heartbreaking what is happening in the World that we Live in today. So many Children are living on the streets and falling into trafficking and becoming drug addicts to numb the severe and extreme pains one must go through while living on the Streets. Please get help if you are reading this right now and you are One of the People whom I speak of; find Professionals who are Licensed and get help. I got the help I need which is why I am no longer Homeless anymore, but Help does exist and it wasn't your fault. So many people truly do care and love you because You Truly Matter. Back to my story; it was Terrifying, the screaming at night, the fighting, the violence, property destruction and people are left dead on the side of the road. So my next few songs will all be about our experiences living on the Streets. A HUGE shoutout: bornagaingoober which is his Twitch handle:   https://www.twitch.tv/bornagaingoober     - this is the Man whom took my Brother Void & I off the Streets and has given us a chance at Life to which we are extremely grateful for. Please support this man, you don't need to like my music, like who I am, support me or anything; but please support my Brother bornagaingoober because who even does that? Who goes out of their own way to help another Brother off the streets? It's so rare these days and the answer is Family. So this song is a Tribute song for bornagaingoober and my Memory of my Brother Void & I surviving the Streets or Portland Oregon
