Oldselfagain, I'm really serious about quitting drinking. I truly wish alcohol would cease to exist. In terms of the weed, I probably should have mentioned that its been the only thing that's enabled me to go 10 days without alcohol. I know there's the whole substituting addictions thing, but I'm taking it one step at a time. I can also function when stoned, not when drunk/withdrawing so it's working at the moment. I'm just hesitant to go full shabang and give up both at once.
I'm also in college and around weed/alcohol all the time.I have to learn to be around it without going nuts. I haven't had much social pressure since I've been off the alcohol since it's been finals week, until now. I'm thinking I'm going to just try and be open with my friends and tell them I'm trying to quit drinking and that I can't be around them if they're doing that (which will still be plenty of time). Im pretty confident they'll be understanding.
