My citalopram is slowly pulling me out of my blues I think. I no longer pine for “the next hit” of weed now that I am over a month clean from it. I fell down and got drunk about two weeks ago and now that I am on this med I know I won’t drink again because you’re not supposed to drink on it. Plus I don’t like drinking. It was a mistake. Anyways, I am stopping smoking once again tomorrow morning. I have no choice. I am out of money. I have groceries to last until pay day at the end of the month and that is all I have. So I am confident that I will stop again this time. The only way I was able to stop smoking weed is that I lost my connect. I call it “God”. I get great comfort and strength from praying lately and have been watching a lot of movies based on the bible so I feel better.
You’ve been struggling with these problems for a long time. I hope this is the time your sobriety “sticks”.
thanks nick. I do too. I see no way to fail this time. I don’t crave weed or alcohol anymore. Things could change but I feel ready finally to really kick this for good. I think this is the last time I’m ever going to say how I’m doing because nobody seems to care.
We care dude… Its awesome to hear you dont crave that stuff any more.
hi jukebox your doing really well as long as you don’t quit quitting your a winner.
hey,
Substance abuse is common. Giving up is good. I never gave up smoking till I got on the champix…I’m predisposed to addiction it would seem but that is my problem.
For you. Be careful with that god stuff. It’s great if your on an even keel but it can be problematic if your prone to positive symptoms that you get with schizophrenia.
Didn’t god say lets make a heaven on this Earth? I’d say try that!
A friend in the struggle,

Congratulations on this hard work.
I’m glad the citalopram is working for you.
Little by little you will bet this. Very happy for you and glad to see you getting better.
Good luck as you kick smoking again.
We care how you’re doing, jukebox. You’re an example to others who want to quit. Personally, the doctor told me I needed to lose weight, so I’m cutting back on my eating and exercising - walking.
good on you crimby do you likedogs plenty of dog at the shelter need walking just a thought.
thanks snowyowl, I stayed in bed most of the day trying to just sleep away day one and then went and got one pack. I am still going to try to stop smoking tomorrow. I said I have no money and I don’t. just grocery money…yikes. It is a scary deal for me and I am stressed about it, thus the falling down. Angie is supposed to get some tax money back soon and I think I’m relying on that info to keep smoking. scary scary.
@crimby thanks man, I care about you too and all on this board as well.
At the assisted living center where I live dogs show up at the clubhouse, people feed them table scraps, and they stay. That isn’t bad, but fairly often these dogs get it in their heads that they’re supposed to be guard dogs, and they start to bother pedestrians who walk by. We have to take them to the shelter when they do that. I don’t like people who let their dogs bother pedestrians, so I’m in agreement that they have to go.
I care @jukebox, Every cigarrette you don’t smoke is a feather in your hat of victory!
Never give up (hope) of quitting.
