Bored at work trying to not go get stoned

What is wrong with me? I have plenty to do today but because I have a little headache all I keep thinking about is walking down the street to the retail marijuana stores (legal here in Denver) and buying some edibles to eat throughout the day. This is my third day sober and I thought the weekend would be so much more difficult than the work week...

Good for you for staying put.

If you have plenty to do, go for it. You'll feel good if you start making accomplishments throughout the day.

Day 3- day 7 are the toughest ! Just grind through these days and you'll start to feel a bit better and a bit stronger ! You can do it ! Just stick to it !

Thank you for the encouragement! I went out of my way to schedule a meeting for later that I will have to be sober for. That should help keep me in line!

Yikes! We don't have that here in CA. They might as well put Vending machines all over the place!

Keep sober and going strong. Living life without Chemicals is the way to do it!

Hello - would that weed help increase your motivation to complete all that stuff? Probably not?

Well, I'm not sure what I can say to that JJ.

If you really want change you need to make change happen.
Think about what you've been doing for your recovery, then think about what you need to add.

I keep blowing it, there comes a point where I have ro asi Tue honest question, maybe I can function drink and stonesbed? Be a good father, husband and still do mt thing?

I may.not have a chouce if this is the best I can do. I felt great while sober, but maybe that just inst on the cards for me abd I should accept that.
