it will have been a complete full week of me not consuming one damn drug, not even caffeine. I have given it much thought and I don't want to use any drugs ever again. I will probably smoke some bud in time far far away but that'll be it. I can't let shit fuck over my life, I hate being dependent on things, and I also hate the thought of thinking of certain drugs because they sound so good. Well they don't sound good anymore, I am actually very ashamed of myself for even thinking like that. All in all I think it will be a positive thing. If I lose friends or stop hanging out with people because I choose to be sober, than good, they arent my fucking friends.
dude, what you just said there, is what i knoew that i need to say, but i just cant. I know it fucks me up, but i just like it so much. But for me actually as of this week, i am only smoking on weekends. which i guess is a good start. how old are you by the way.
you shouldn't be ashamed of yourself for thinking that certain drugs sound appealing... they're drugs that have countless benefits and countless detriments.. in many instances the benefits sound a lot more appealing than the detriments and we are inclined to get high. nothing to be ashamed about. On the other hand congratulations because sobriety also has its benefits... I have always appreciated Hunter Thompson's quote on this topic because it fits me so well... "I would never advocate drugs, sex or violence to anyone else but they've always worked for me."
I'm the same age as you, yeah that is a good start, but that wouldn't work for me. If I quit something I have to go cold turkey, cause it makes me feel I am just procrastinating. I also cannot hide the fact that drugs, even marijuana don't work for me (anymore). Thanks though guys, best of luck to y'all.
I thought to myself 2 months ago- I spend sooo much time thinking about cannabis- when to smoke, where to smoke, how much, what to do when I smoke, I discovered I thought way more about cannabis and I could put my brain to better use. I also understood that hanging out in the marijuana forum made me think about cannabis too much. So this is the reason why I dont hang around here often anymore. I still smoke pot, although I have cut back, but not reading a bunch of crap about pot on these forums has relieved my brain.
