Damn, smoked weed!

Damn! I smoked a joint tonight. My addictive voice told me I deserved a treat after 9 days of sobriety, the longest I've gone in 5 years, so I smoked a joint for the first time in 5 days. I immediately felt like an idiot. Sure, I'm still comitted to not drinking, but high is not sober. Feel like ****. I'm tossing the rest of my weed. I've realized I actually hate being high now.

I'm fairly new here, and apoligize if this should be part of an existing thread, rather than a new thread.

Don't beat yourself up mate.

During a recent dry spell a friend bought me a lunchtime pint. I sipped at it for a while but felt drowsy and uncomfortable (odd to believe I am saying this) it actually strengthened my resolve to give up.

You seem to be feeling the same way

I guess better to do it and find out you don't want or need it in your life at 9 days vs 9 months or a few years.

Please don't let it distance you from recovery been there done that

My mind is a powerful tool and will use anything to keep me in the disease

Today is a new day glad you were honest now that shows me a willingness to want recovery. There are people like me in the past, who would use and not say anything till I either went out full blown, or the guilt was ready to kill me.

THROW IT OUT

Thanks everyone. When I'm not drinking or smoking weed I wake up at 7:00 feeling refreshed and energized. This morning I got up at 8:30 feeling the old familiar ganja hangover and nothing but regret for having convinced myself that pot is a harmless substitute for wine that I can indulge in now and then. The marijuana maintenance plan is dead. I'm looking forward to a sober day and night today.

That is a good feeling, isn't it?
