Hi guys. Great to hear you are all doing well. Congrats. For myself, I consider weed totally off limits. One tiny bit is opening the door to the addiction I know so well. Being free of craving is such a gift and the risk of inviting craving back into my life... nope, not worth it. I don't even wish I could smoke a bit here and there (my previous greatest desire). I can be around it at social events and not want it but I could not be alone with the stuff or alone with a good friend who had it for prolonged periods. As free as I am now, I respect my limits. I wouldn't beat myself up if I did relapse briefly but I'd be EXTREMELY careful about keeping it away in future. I'm pretty sure I know where that road goes.

55 days without weed for the first time in years. 55 days fully sober for the first time in over a decade. I recently ruined a relationship with someone I loved and wanted to marry. Normally I would reach for something after that. The pain hurts but at least I'm sober. Sorry I'm a downer right now.
How is everyone else?

hi Dee, WB, krete ! I Miss seeing Brazilian around here anymore - I guess he moved on with his life ! He had lots on his plate. I had a small slip a while back, but back in the saddle. It's like I'm doing well for awhile and then I almost feel like celebrating, so I'll have a beer or two. But the last time I did, pot was around and I indulged. I am just staying focused now, one day at a time. I must say, even though I slipped, when I look back over this last year, my consumption has gone down dramatically to almost zero. I have had a few slips throughout this past year. It kind of bums me out that I wasn't a 100% clean, but then again, I have to be grateful it's a thousand times better than it was. Right now, I'm 100% clean, but I also know I can slip if in the right situation. Need to stay alert and need to keep the stress manageable. How is everyone ? WB, I see you've had a tough week - hold tight girl, you'll make it through ! This too shall pass. I know it's not easy , at times. And Krete, great to see you here - how is Life treating you these days. I wonder how Stoogy is doing ? Would love to hear from the old gang again!

hey, great to see you again , krete ! Right on, man, never quit quitting and you've been through it once at least, so you know what to expect, guard for, etc. No one does it perfectly, I KNOW I don't anyways - everyone's got their own way , but one thing we all have in common is a clear desire to live in a more healthy and clear state. So, really great to hear you back - chat away whenever you feel like it. It's funny, I haven't been here for awhile, but something told me to pop in and here you are, krete ! Maybe we can get the old gang back and see how everyone's doing - Stoogy, you out there ? Brazilian, how is the studying going ? I'll pop in more often now. Hopefully, some others will come join. Day 1 in the books now, hey krete ! Congrats on starting again - you'll have to share with us why you decided to quit again, when you're ready.

Popping my head into this thread again. Been over 1.5 years free of marijuana and 2.5 free from booze. I picked up a nasty bit of food poisoning down here this week, I felt like hell. Got me thinking: I used to feel this way every morning! So glad that terrible fog has lifted.
On Sunday I take a short flight down to Costa Rica, the last time I stayed down there I was newly sober from booze but I was still smoking a lot of marijuana to "keep the dream alive". I'm going to have my guard up, but I'm more excited to see how much more vibrant the jungle will be without drugs this time. Glad to see everyone doing their best here!
