Boston. Great work. Your stage of recovery is still fresh in my mind. It is a highly manic and confusing, unstable time, but please stick with it. You will continue to get better and stronger.

Well it was almost day 12 and I had my first panic attack. I smoked weed for 4 years but kinda stopped the last 2 months of drinking and now when I try it makes me panic kinda. Today it was an attack so I think I'm done smoking weed for awhile.

For me, I had to give up both alcohol and weed at the same time. Anything that messes with my head isn't good for me. I was 50 at the time. Ever consider AA?

Keep moving forward!!!! You are doing the right thing!

Thumbs up

Really great shares in this thread.

Yeah, being sober is worth getting sober. Whatever it takes.

I'm thinking I need to give them both up too. Every time I smoke I'm panicy and I had that one panic attack from smoking. Other then that it's been alright. A little up and down, but mostly up.

Although when I smoke with people I seem to enjoy it for the most part, but by myself it's weird and caused my only panic attacked which lasted about 15-20 minutes.

I do plan to smoke weed in my life, but for now it doesn't seem right. Not sure what people's views on weed is, but I don't see it as a harmful or bad substance. I started smoking weed in early HS and it never really got in the way of anything. Graduated, started college and did my thing. Alcohol on the other hand was messing my life completely up.

Well I'm now 23 days sober and did go to the concert and didn't drink. I hung out with my friends all weekend and then at the concert and they were all drunk the whole time and I didn't drink. The first night we all hung out the cravings were bad, but other then that I was okay.
