I'm new here. Today is day 0.
Basically I'm tired of being drunk / high all the time and how much money and time I spend on alcohol and drugs. I could be so much healthier without the smoking and drinking. I could have more time to be productive and not waste all my free time being high and drunk doing nothing. I could have more money to buy and do the things I want to. All if I quit. I've quit before, I can do it again. Starting is hard. But I gotta do it. I look forward to saying 2 weeks sober. Or ever 4 days. I'm already high today so today does not count. I have all the reasons to quit. I even have a good job that if they found out I was smoking marijuana I'd get fired. Not to mention if I wasn't buying drugs, I would not have to waste time waiting to meet these lousy low life drug dealers on the street. Who knows what I'm funding by buying drugs from them? I can live without this $4!%. I'm getting too old to be doing this anymore as well. I gotta grow up sometime. It's time. I've been high long enough. I know what it's like to be drunk or stoned. I'm good with it. I don't need anymore. I've have more than my fair share.
Anybody with me on this?

i am day 79 myself.
It's true what people discus on here, past the initial couple of weeks it seems it becomes a mostly mental fight - fighting cravings, fighting insomnia, fighting boredom, fighting anxiety..... things like that.
Watch out for the first couple weeks, please please please see someone as soon as possible and dont do it alone......... doing it alone is very dangerous.
welcome aboard!

Yes teef - we get you and we're here to help. I'm so glad you found us.
I drank all my life & was sure I needed it to cope with stress. In reality I was making things so much harder than they were. Being numb and foggy is no way to enjoy life. I'm glad you've made this important decision - you can do it.
