No weed, no alcohol, no caffeine, no meds, nothing legal or illegal.

If this describes you, how you doing with your rawdogging of reality?

Yeah, going quite well. I like the clarity of mind. A few years ago, I once took some painkillers and even three weeks later, my mind still felt hazy at times, like I couldn’t concentrate fully. Not worth it, at all.

Mormons don’t drink coffee because it’s hot, not because its caffienated they get a lot of caffiene via soda.

The ones I used to work with didn’t drink anything with caffeine. Never heard of the hot thing.

So apparently it’s something even Mormons are confused about but official doctrine is that caffeine is not a problem. The one guy I knew was fine with caffeine

: In 2012, the church released an official statement stating explicitly that caffeinated soda is allowed under church doctrine. Still, many Mormons will not consume caffeinated drinks.

Dang, no caffeine? You’re strict. I would like to think I don’t need caffeine, I just like the ritual of drinking coffee and when I don’t I feel slightly more pure, not that that helps me like myself anymore lol

…does tea count? Or sugar? Jerking off and video games are enough for me.

My only real problem now seems to be finding a relationship, so life’s great.

I also have zero interest in those drugs though. Coffee tasted bitter. Alcohol tastes bad, and when I got tipsy once I just felt mild inconvenience walking, I think. Smoking smells bad. Never saw weed with my own eyes. A friend had me try yerba mate telling me it’d give me a kick like coffee, especially if I never tried it, but I just didn’t feel anything special.

Altering your perception of reality doesn’t need to be centered around escaping challenges.
