marijuana and alcohol together.. then there is cocaine. I'm just an adddict. I'm on my 6th day sober. The longest I have gone in almost a year. This post is about using a combination of substances. I cannot drink without craving marijuana. If I do drink and don't have pot or can't get pot I get enraged. If I smoke pot without alcohol I get massive anxiety attacks. So really, I'm addicted to being drunk and high. What would that be called? It's like I'm codependent on using the two together. Also, I am over 2 years clean from cocaine and tobacco. Going broke was what got me off cocaine, plus I owed my dealer a bunch of money so I left town. Now I'm 2 years clean from coke but still have cocaine dreams from time to time, like lastnight, which was the first good sleep I have had since I stopped drinking, aside from the dream. But I woke up feeling rested. |
Congrats on 6 days. To answer your question, i'd just say you have multiple addictions. It's pretty common. |
I only did cocaine a few times but i still have fantasies about it |
I had multiple addictions that fed into each other too. I'm really glad you've had 6 days with nothing Sero. Do you have other support besides us, as well? D |

I was the same way When I got drunk, which was nightly, I loved to toke weed. I rarely had any during the week, but on weekends my friends would be around. These guys ALWAYS had a stash. Marijuana without alcohol? No way. Some people say it relaxes them. Good for them. It would make me climb the walls. |
Just stay clean and you'll be all right. And the dreams are normal. I've quit smoking 10 years ago and still have dreams in which I smoke. That's just normal. |
Never liked drugs much. I was able to stop very early. Put a Guinness in front of me though and it's white on rice. |
I had issued with drugs in general, for some reason drinking was the hardest to kick. I've since accepted that I just have an addictive personality, but that's ok. You can turn that into a positive, that personality can make you excel when you put your mind to the right things. You're an all or nothing guy, just be all in on the right stuff. |
Yeah, when I was trying to quit drinking in the fall, I figured I'd take up smoking weed again (I did a lot in high school and a fair amount in college, but maybe four times a year since college). Well, I found out pretty quickly that just smoking gave me big anxiety issues that I'd need to settle with alcohol. Strangely, if I smoke with friends, I can get by with just the high and enjoy conversations and laughing at stupid TV. If I smoke alone, I get super anxiety ridden and need to drink. Similarly, if I started drinking alone, I started craving weed more and more. I think I'm less addicted to weed and can use "socially," unlike alcohol, but smoking at home at night is not something I'm gonna do anymore. |
