This describes me.
There's plenty of cool things in life to enjoy that gets you through hard times that aren't drugs. I run a lot and exercise for mental health, etc. Never felt the need or desire to alter my perception of reality. Would rather face up to it and deal with things head-on.
Then again, I don't really know any different. I've always been drink and drug free.
Altering your perception of reality doesn’t need to be centered around escaping challenges.
