I cannot drink or smoke, so does that mean that I can no longer have any fun? I'm exaggerating, so read my ?

Question

Yes, yes, I know---

"You can have fun if you go out with your friends and not drink and have a good time"

I am in grad school. I go 8-5 without a lunch break and 8-5 on weekends twice a month.

I have had a stomach infection and I cannot tolerate alcohol, processed sugar, or spicy foods.

Cancer is stong in my family, so I cannot smoke.

I go out with friends once or maybe twice (at the most) to relax and visit. I do not want to get sh*t faced, I just want a little something that I can take to lighten me up.

Apparently benzos are not a good idea. Is there any other anxiety drug that I can (through my psychiatrist-I have no idea where I can get it off the street, plus that sounds really shady anyway) get that can let me feel a little like I have been drinking? Please. THC makes me paranoid.

I am not abusing, I am wanting to feel just a little like people my age. I am in my mid 20s and have been going to school 19 years full time, so I know how to not ruin my life.

Answer 1

dont get cancer from weed =) best answer, if you look it up you dont, legit.

Answer 2

I was an alcoholic and thought I was having a good time.  When I quit my alcoholic friends said I was no fun anymore.  I started going out with folks that either drank lightly or not at all.  We had fun talking, being at shows and sharing experiences.  I don't miss the drink or the feeling of getting high.  Try going out with friends who you enjoy being with and don't worry about making an impression.  Just have fun.

Answer 3

You can have a whole world of fun. Some of the best times you'll ever have in your life you'll be stone cold sober (but, in other ways, as high as a kite).

One of the best ways to lighten up is by watching your favourite comedy show.

Answer 4

well, since you have health problems I'd advise you to stay sober. No drink or drug can help you because with time you'll need to increase the quantity of the substance in order to feel the buzz. That will cause even more health problems. You should just get used to being sober and eating healthy. Maybe a new hobby will help you get your mind off getting high. Get busy and u won't have time to destroy your body.

Answer 5

well you should not really do any od them. because theyre both bad but i mean i no people woh cancer is very likely to get in their family so they will smoke like once in a blue moon. and if you get stomache  problems from alchohol you should not be drinking it because oyu are just ruining your inner body

Answer 6

You need therapy. . You don't want to drink or smoke but you want some kind of pill for what?. You life must not be that great like you claim if you need anxiety pills. Like you said there are ways to have fun withou drinks and smoking. Get a better life or friends who can have a better time .

Answer 7

I don't get it.  Are people your age alcoholics???  Believe me, there are plenty of people your age who don't smoke or do drugs, (Alcohol is a drug).  Maybe new friends will help.
