LoveForMe

Hey everyone! This is my first post here. Ive been reading threads the last couple of weeks and thought maybe posti g here would be good for me. Considering my lack of friends due to some drunken actions... but... Today is my 88th day of being alcohol free :-) I've been using cannibas though... everyday . Any thoughts on if continuing weed use will lead me back to the bottle eventually? Alcohol was ruining my life and weed has been good to me... except a few pounds of weight gain and some laziness😕 thank yoi guys!

It may or may not lead you back to the bottle....or to other substances. But suppose it doesn't. Do you really want to be dependent upon weed for the rest of your life? Or do you want freedom from addiction, total freedom from those chains?

Hi Kateangel! I also have 88 days! I'm not sure about the weed. I am really enjoying sobriety and being clear-headed, so that wouldn't fit into my program. I'm sure others here will have more experience to share with you.

I smoke/eat weed on occasion still, but I can't say what it will lead YOU to. If it's worrying you that it could open the door to other things,you might want to address that concern.

Congratulations on your 88 days! 90 days coming up😁

Hi and welcoem Kate

I can only share my experience - I used weed the same way I used booze - to escape, to run away, to control my emotions and numb out the bad parts of my existence.

I was as controlled by my weed use as I would be by my alcohol use later on. Both were destructive to me.

And, yeah - when I was high I wanted to drink and when I was drunk I wanted to be high as well - they fed off each other.

There's a forum full of people who are fighting, and winning, against pot addiction.

You've got one addiction on the run - why stop now when you only have one arm free - go for total freedom and a life without addiction IMO
