Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Kevin and I decided today that I'm sick and tired of living in a drug induced haze that has caused me to have severe anxiety and depression. My drug of choice is marijuana but I did a lot of the hard stuff too as well as drank a lot. I was hesitant on signing up because I didn't know if I wanted to be completely sober but I was reading through the forum for a few hours today and I feel this site can help me stay on track with being sober.

Welcome to a wonderful place. I was lost and broken before I found SR. Once I knew I wasn't alone anymore - everything changed. Congratulations for having the courage to reach out for a new life - one not spent in a fog. You can do this!

welcome Kevin - I was a stoner too - amongst other things - so rest assured there are people here who understand.

You'll find a lot of support here

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. It is much appreciated. Day 1 of sobriety for me was rough but nothing I can't handle. My plan is to just stay in for a few days ,except when I have to work, and just get used to having a clear head again. My biggest worry is dealing with the people I hang out with because they are still using except my one friend who had a big wake up call this weekend by getting arrested and going to jail. So him and I are going to try and be there for each other and get to some AA meetings.

I don't know how to live anymore, with or without drugs. I can't live with drugs because I don't get anything done and my anxiety prevents me from doing things normal people do. I can't live without drugs because I don't know how to anymore. Last year I was sober for a few months while I was in OP but once that ended I started to use again. They even warned me that going back to using would be worse than when I used before that. They were so right and I can't believe I let it get this bad. It's time to get rid of this once and for all and bring back my sanity.
