I love how this film wasn't just about the addiction of drugs, it was about the addiction of choosing not to live and the ending just proves it. Renton's words are so inspirational and I love looking at this when I'm feeling bummed out, it reminds me that living is such a great thing :) Edit: coming back to this as an alcoholic lol. It’s 2023, life was so much easier when I thought I had control. Edit 2: Thanks for the encouraging words guys. I’m 31 days sober!!! If a shithead like me can do it anyone can. Best of luck to you all and I swear the next update won’t be a relapse lmao. Edit 3: 100 DAYS SOBER BOYSSSSSS!!!!! 5/17/23 LETS GET IT!!!!!!! Final edit 12/31/23: I relapsed in October but got back on the horse and ended this year out sober. I looked at sobriety as an option and punishment, a freedom that I can no longer engage in or a restriction and a fairness I was never given (I was coerced into drinking my an abusive partner). It was hard to grieve this, but more importantly I didn’t know I was grieving my past self. Whatever brought you to addiction let yourself grieve who you were, what you’ve been through, and the routines that surrounded your addiction. Let yourself grieve and let yourself feel beyond the numbness. Be kind to yourself, sobriety isn’t a race and you have to do it for the right reasons. I chose to genuinely live, because I realized my life was worth living. This time last year I was piss drunk sarcastically waving in the new year, I thought I’d be dead before Christmas. Something clicked one day that I didn’t just want to be sober to get my life back on track, but because I want to learn to love myself and give a shit about me for once. Failure happens, but damnit if an autist with adhd and horrible trauma can look in the mirror and say “you ain’t half bad,” so can you. This monologue means the world to me, right now I have 25 dollars to my name and not a single thing of ownership but I’ve never felt so present than I have now. Thank you for all the well wishes and I wish you all luck on your new life. You got this, we all fucking do!

I always saw the ending as a sort of "there is no real way to live a life" type of one. I just think the amount of things he says and how he says it makes you think if they are important or not.

I think the movie suggests that both life-styles are empty. You can choose a quick death in heroin, a drug that makes you lose sight of what is real, or you can be apart of the materialistic culture which is a drug. Both use lifestyles depend upon a product to make the user forget about their lives.

In this ending scene, he's crossing a bridge; a metaphor, I think, for his transition from drug addiction to the 'real' life. Notice he's also going with the flow of traffic. I think that also represents his decision to live life like everyone else from now on. "I'm gonna be just like you" Too bad 'normal' life is a mundane script that terminates in the grave. "Looking ahead till the day you die"

the hardest part about getting sober for me was not withdrawing, that's the easy part; even as unbearable as that was, the daily pain of trying to twist and fold oneself back into the general molding of societies normal is painful in a way I cannot explain. I drunkly laughed at the strangely self restricting patterns of norm that guided all. I was a slave to dope, but felt free from the indoctrination of the norm. Drugs, inspired for a time, but would eventuality twist my very being into a sub human monster if more and I, me mine. Reawakening from such a state to find that you had been an outright menace to society and had fallen so far off the trail of progress, it would be decades before you caught up enough to start to seem normal from the outside. It is a funny thing to be in a constant state of mild panic chasing an ideal that you know has no meaning to you though knowing that achieving the title of normal is better than being less than, unsuccessful, unproductive, different. ( yes yes, we are all special and unique persons, he likes blue and she likes red, he likes pop and the other R&B, the different I mean is one that is unsafe and scary as it falls too far from the mean and mode of acceptable choices ).

None of Renton's reasons (or reasons I listed) are necessarily reasons to get high, stay high, or not get sober. They're simply reasons people CHOOSE to check out of society. Some people are more sensitive to the ways the world sucks than others and feel overwhelmed in their inability to change it. It's just good to get a take on why people have mixed feelings about sobriety, even if it's good for them and even if it's what they want.

I'm glad you think the character in the movie is so positive and has made peace with the world and all the people in it. Not sure Renton is at peace with the world as you seem to think he is. He's sober for today and seems to have continuing conflicting feelings about that like many recovering addicts.

"Clearing gutters, getting by, looking ahead, the day you die." I can't help but understand "gutters" as veins. That as much as this is a promise to those finding sobriety, it also describes those that "choose life" in staying on narcotics. Who knows, I could very well be reading too much into it. But it seems purposeful that those are the finishing words.
