ok, so I had 3 Smirnoff Ice and suddenly really wanted a cigarette. I laid down and slept it off thankfully but it proved to me that I shouldn’t drink. So now I am totally vice free completely. I tried to hang on to drinking, but I know now I shouldn’t try it. I feel very positive about this.
If it helps any, the craving for cigarettes when drinking goes away after a little while. Straight edge is really honorable. OTOH, sometimes letting loose every once in a while can be healthy.
In my case, I believe it makes me unstable on my meds, so I can’t drink anymore really. Oh believe me, with weed and alcohol I love “letting loose” but for me one time is too much and a thousand times is never enough. (quote unknown)
I quit drinking for one reason, soon i am going to come off med if everything goes well, once i am off med. alcohole can bring my psychosis back or it may not, but i cant take that chance since no one knows that i am on med or have psych disorder, and if i become psychotic at a wrong place around people, i will loose lot of people that i associate, becouse they wouldnt want to Be around someone who is insane.
I have been craving alcohol everyday since I got back to Florida. After I wake up and get my caffiene the next thing I want is alcohol. I also think I might be able to get out of bed if I had somthing like nicoteen to look forward to. I am sticking with coffee now. I have been without smoking and chewing tobaco for like 15 years or so. If I did not come down with vertigo I dont now how I would have quit drinking alcohol. I had to hide the alcohol because my family does not drink at all. My mom just quit smoking 5 years ago after smoking two packs a day for 30 or more years straight. she is slower and does not get out as much but I am glad she stopped. I only toked a joint of marijuana like twenty times my whole life. thats it for drugs.
