If you are looking for a green light to get stoned, you won't get it from me. That said, you can do whatever you want, PBODY, provided you are willing to pay the price, which will probably be high.

No.
How do you recover from alcoholism while you're smoking pot? I've done both in my past for many years. Stoned and drunk are both states of being which have nothing to do with recovery.
What are you thinking?

I am feeling like I want something to drink which I am assuming it is natural considering. I am looking at some of these postings reading how people were sober for years and committed suicide so I am kind of leaning on getting a psych evaluation but they are out for lunch than I started thinking about how pot is used medicinally. I think it is just the jitters. How are you doing Sapling?

I wasn't sure if it was like a step back that is why I asked because if that is the case of jepordizing my sobriety I haven't been sober at all never not even for those two years with out alchoale which might be the cause for relapse.

I bought soda, my grandpa picked up a soda habit and hasn't drank in 25 years, so I figure I would try it I did it a couple of months ago remained sober for like 2 months until I removed it from the house. I am just worried and I want to indefinatly quit

Do they count?
You think its really up to the user, eh?
Well, I don't. I think some users will never care enough to quit. You know, some users really do drink or otherwise drug themselves to death.
I guess I'm upset a bit, lol.
Take it easy, Snarf.

I stopped drinking for 2 years yet have had many relapses in the past 7 it wasnt the more recent two years it was like maybe 2-3 years ago. 2 years, so over the span of 3 years when I have smoked I haven't drank but when I didn't smoke I drank. So I think I am starting to answer my own question. Sorry my wife keeps asking me to get pot, she is saying I have been watching you getting ****** up for a while and.... so forth.
