I've been lurking for a couple of days and it's really helped, so I joined. I started smoking weed when I was not quite 16. Did acid first time on my 16th birthday. Got hooked on coke by 18. I was able to quit coke until I was 39. Picked it up again hard for a year and quit again. I've had no coke since 06. Drank moderately sometimes and not so moderately. DOC for sure is weed. Wake & Bake plus the rest of the day and night for 30+ years. Maybe clean 9 months total for 30+! Lucky to have stayed out of trouble with the law. Lied to everyone I loved. You all Know the drill. So here I am on day 3 clean and sober. My goal is to be weed free, but due to withdrawell nausea I haven't drank my beers either and the more I read SR I believe I should try to remain sober also. Today is the first day I could eat real food. I guess i'll be a novemberist also. I quit cigarettes in January and that motivated me to quit the rest i guess.

Welcome to SR arrrdubya

I was a daily smoker for 30 years too - and a beer drinker.
I think you're wise to lay off both, for sure.

Welcome and good decision!

I do hope you give up the beer, too, and I'm glad you found us. Congratulations on stopping smoking cigarettes.

I just told the wife about my addiction(s) and my desire to quit. Lot's of emotions on both sides. She knew I had used in the past and had suspicions about my recent use, but it was a shock for her. I have had extensive and major dental work done recently, bone grafts and implants and more. My wife is a nurse and she was so worried about how I used my pain meds. While I used coke I always took pills too. Thankfully I never had the refills and called doc to cancel. The shame I feel is overwhelming. The realization that I probably have to un-ass my friends and figure out how to do everyything without getting high just hit me. My whole lifestyle is so intertwined with drugs and alcohol. I feel pissed and sad.
I should probably be posting this on another thread. New to the forum thing.

((Arrdubya)) - My life was pretty intertwined with drugs, too. Took me a while to get used to life without them, but it does happen.

Hugs and prayers,
