>>169405same Anon, I've smoked a couple times (and drink very occasionally too) so I don't really have a "sober date" but I have been sober 99% of my life since this post. I think making the rule "if someone offers it to me I can participate, but I'm not allowed to buy it/have it in my apartment" has really been enough for me to kick the habit. if I have it in my home then I'll be stoned 24/7 so that has to be the rule, and it's very simple. and there have been a couple close calls (when I have a terrible day) but I've stayed strong and talked myself out of it because I know it'd be a temporary mood boost that would leave me feeling even worse after.
I just don't want to be high all the time anymore, it's not enjoyable when I smoke alone. I like being sober and clearheaded and I've been going to the gym and library and stuff too. things are so much better than they were at this time last year.

new year, same shit. been posting on this thread for two years now. shayna/this thread inspired me to quit in 2023, i spent 2 months sober, relapsed, spent 3 months sober, relapsed in the fall, spent the whole winter smoking, then quit again in spring and was able to spend 6 months completely off weed and dabs! but sadly i relapsed again in the fall and i also developed a drinking problem. ive been trying to quit drinking off and on since october but to no avail. im not the typical alcoholic because i dont drink every day and i dont really think about it much (with weed/dabs i think about it constantly and smoke all day every day), but when i do drink im a total binge drinker. so im quitting dabs and alcohol right now. im a daily dabber and hardly smoke flower so my tolerance is ridiculously high and i get withdrawals really bad. so i started by only taking 3-4 dabs a day and much smaller dabs than i was taking, and supplementing between with flower until i ran out of dab, then did flower only for a day or two, and then went cold turkey off it. i would've maybe done flower for longer but i have suspected CHS and it makes me throw up every time i try smoking it. so today i now have 2 days off weed, and 3 off drinking!!! i do plan on drinking again in the future after my break but not as often and not as many as i was drinking. i find i have a tolerance for alcohol too but whenever i take time off drinking like two beers gets me drunk instead of like 6. so here i am trying to get sober again, maybe this time for good. i would really like to never go back to smoking cuz it makes me feel so horrible but every time shit gets rough i wanna substance abuse lol. so wish me luck nonas! and good luck to anyone trying to get sober or stay sober today!

Here to celebrate 3 months without weed, I had gone 3 years without it then smoked for 2 weeks straight before I realized I was just smoking and smoking while waiting to start having a good time. Then I’d get annoyed I wasn’t having a good time kek. Still haven’t had alcohol in 3 years.
>>169999Congrats anon! The first week is truly the hardest. If you have an obsession with weed, some of the Alcoholics Anonymous techniques really changed my life. The people in the meetings can be lame and the book thumping is overrated, I did it out of fear mostly. Idk if you have a spiritual connection, but it was the main help to me. Doesn’t have to be anything you don’t want it to be. Congrats and cheers to your journey!
