Welome To SR, J!
I am glad you found us..
Congratulations on your sobriety and success with the other addictions in your life..you seem very strong..
I smoked a lot of weed and hash during the 60's and easily left it after a time..
Many years later, I started using medicinal weed for my chronic pain condition..rather than touch narcotics...I was complacent about weed but in time I became addicted to it - 1/4 ounce a day...
Long story short...my brain chemistry had changed in the ensuing years, and my brain could no longer tolerate weed...
this was my first experience with addiction and I now realize my brain chemistry is compromised and I need to be careful of some things that have the potential to alter it..for me it is all about brain chemistry..and mindful recovery...
Hope you stick around...it is a great community, lots of Experience, Strength, and Hope here....oh, and you might want to try the Substance Abuse forum...
