Life is just too complicated for me right now to smoke weed or drink alcohol. I haven’t touched the stuff in over a month now. I’m on day two of stopping smoking and I see a better life for me now. I never liked drinking, weed was always the hard one to put down for me but it’s costly, it hurts my lungs, and the feeling is so fleeting just to have to pump up so many hits to get to where I felt good. Here’s to the sober life!

thanks. They say you have to hit rock bottom before you see the light. I believe that’s what happened to me. I can’t believe it actually. Weed has lost it’s luster for me. I am happy at least about this…I don’t have to rely on weed to pull me through. There is God and there is my girlfriend and family to support me now. I don’t need weed.

Just remember not to just quit substances. You need something active to replace that new open space.
Good luck

Nice going @jukebox! Stopping of your own accord shows strength of character. I only stopped when I was admitted onto the ward for the first time - so not by my choice. Am so glad I did stop though.

I think I might be in the opposite boat atm!
Been drinking nearly every day, and of course smoking a dozen times a day. I never learn my lessons apparently. But I figure I might as well enjoy the time I have.
Congratulations! Here’s to sobriety! Alcohol is my drug of choice, as destructive as it is. Today is my 154th day of not drinking, but that is substantially because both the stores in town that sold beer have closed down.

I have been the same.My major enemy is booze and I have found a healthy replacement.Booze lost me thousands of dollars worth of gold that I had been investing in and the loss of a great woman.Booze does nothing less than a tornado to your personal ambitions and desires.I hate it.But I love this site.It has helped me allot !!!
