How to Have Fun Without Drugs and Alcohol

So, you used to drink like a fish, but you have decided to to quit. Or maybe, you loved to smoke marijuana, but you find it immature now. Here is how you can still enjoy yourself, without the drugs and alcohol.

1. If you used to be an alcoholic, do not hang out in bars. Being in a bar will just likely trigger that urge to drink.
2. Avoid old drinking or drug buddies. Yes, they are your best friends, or so you think. If they really are best friends, they will be respectful of your choice to change your lifestyle and will be there for you in the end.
3. Enjoy life. Take up exercise or outdoor sports, such as rock climbing. You will then start to feel the natural highs that the body can enjoy.
4. Be a designated driver. You are keeping your friends safe and out of trouble this way - this also makes you a good friend.
5. Rediscover the art of meaningful conversation. It is amazing when two people in a coffee shop or diner have a great, intelligent conversation. It is so much better than inane chatter telling one another how "wasted" you feel.
6. Enjoy the feeling of being 100% in control, and knowing that you are totally safe and are a LOT less likely to embarrass yourself.
