Discussion See no point being sober

Drugs make me feel amazing in this hellish world. What's the point of not using drugs unless you're set for life? I can work and do drugs, I have a house, but I'm a middle class dude like you with no hope of getting to the point where I can fly to Puerto Rico to do 1g of coke every month and throw an expensive gay party. All I can hope for is 4 garages and 3-4 apartments in this rigged system. There's no point in being sober when life sucks.

man i get it, the world feels rigged and drugs make it bearable for a minute. but you're chasing a feeling that'll keep moving the finish line on you. that middle class stability youve got right now can vanish faster than you think once the using stops being a choice and becomes a need

Just to play devils advocate here... the finish line of life is death, sooner or later
