Life lived with drugs is dark, hazy and mostly uncomfortable. The people in your circle who also do drugs will tell you it’s fun, but mostly it’s just being unable to process a lot of things normally. Things that you normally do on a daily basis when you are sober. You can vaguely remember the days and you miss out on a lot of things, from friendships to family.

I can’t emphasize enough how life is just so much better, so much positive with no drugs. You feel clean, you feel alert and you feel that you have total control over yourself and your thoughts. How is my life with no drugs? Life with no drugs is positive, well and just a thousand times better than the opposite.

The body needs sleep to function properly. Your health depends on the number of hours you get to rest and sleep. Lack of sleep can show on your face and on your health. No drugs means having a sound mind that can get you to sleep soundly every night. This gives your body the chance to cope and replenish your energy in a healthy manner.
