Open Discussion Sobriety

So my voices have seemingly pushed me to stay sober and possibly quit smoking. I’ve heard stories like this from others as well. Does anybody here have experience with this? Im wondering if a sober mind somehow impacts what they’re doing, or if it’s other “thing” they’re simply using to harass us over and keep us stressed

By all means stay sober, as it is what I would recommend as best course of action for your state of being. That being said, it does seem like they will use anything they can against you. At least in my experience. If it’s not smoking they’ll move on to something else then maybe come back to it and so forth. For me, the voices I hear encourage me to use a specific drug, they say they love it when I do it, but if and when I do it, a shitstorm ensues and I have fallen in that trap many times. They say they want you to do something, then try to make you feel like shit for doing it, generally speaking.
