What Path are you playing in One Day at a Time?
It's as I thought, the majority of you (and me) want to see the sober path, junkie points will still be relevant in the game, it just might be an (it makes it harder for you to get sober type of thing, or X happens that might not have). I can still show enough of the bad stuff with you getting sober to have impact. As I got to thinking, it would be ultra unrealistic to go down a full junkie path and still have the MC having sex with people or maintaining any relationships at all. It would only get worse from here. Not that we are even at where I thought of having it split yet and there will still be many things these characters have to overcome still, but I think this is the better way to go to convey the vision I have for this project. Because if I were to do a true junkie path MC would probably end up in prison, dead, or in a mental institution. None of these are really conducive to character interaction. Thanks for your input and confirming what I was already feeling.
I have altered the Overview to reflect what the game will ultimately turn out to be. None of this means the bad shit is over by any means, if I don't show how bad it is I would be doing a disservice to the game and to my experience. Thank you to all that voted, and confirmed what I had already felt in my heart!
As my game goes on I feel the spirit of it turning more towards the sober path and feel like that's what I want to write more. Plus, with feedback I've found most people are playing that path. What path are you playing?

Sober
In case you didn't read the long message above I have updated the Overview to reflect the game going forward, and we are by no means done with the bad stuff, that's just not how it works getting clean, as I've stated in the game and know In Real LIfe, it's just not like you decide one day and it happens right then, it takes a lot of work and setbacks will occur.
I'm playing sobriety as well I have a few personal examples of the other path in my personal life.
Enjoy the honest view of how a junkie has to deal with everyday life and all the decisions that a 'normal' person takes for granted. Very good story - thank you!
Playing the sober path atm, will go back and play junkie path at some point, just curious to see the story.
Im playing the sober path as that leads to positivity. I will probably replay tge junkie path once the story concludes though.
Honestly, that's the only one I'm interested in playing. I'm finding that the addiction elements are uncomfortable for me. I really appreciate the artistry, but the junkie path is one I will not go down.
They are very much supposed to be uncomfortable.
