Nah. I think sobriety and drugs all accomplish different things. I have no moral qualms about biologically bootstrapping myself into what I want, be it productivity (amphetamines), sociability (alcohol), sleepyness (melatonin), alertness (caffeine), a better mood (kratom)...any of that. Sobriety isn't a morally pure state and if I include "any substance that exerts an effect on my brain" then I have to say that I've never really been sober. My brain has always been at the mercy of the food and substances I consume, the environment I find myself in, my hormonal makeup, and bullshit like getting the right amount of sleep or how much blue light I was exposed to at what hour.

Basically, I think worrying about "getting the feeling without doing the work" is assigning some moral high ground to doing things the hard way. IMO if you stop trying to do things "the hard way" and choose "the efficient way" for everything you want to accomplish, you have a much more fulfilling life. Damn right I'm going to take amphetamines to get shit done, damn right I'm going to use apps that adjust my computer light in the evening so that I can go to sleep more easily.

Be smart, weigh the costs and benefits. Don't cause unnecessary harm. Get what you want out of life.
