Sobriety - Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Put Down The Bong

[Julie Newmar]

Sorry if this is a gone-over topic, I didn’t find anything recent or of substance, but also I have a drug problem so maybe that’s why.
I know a lot of people will say weed isn’t a drug that can be a problem, but for me it is. I’ve quit before and backslid, but this time is proving a little tougher; probably because I intend it to be the last.
Is there room for a sobriety support thread?

Once you get past the first week, you should be fine on the physical level.

What site do you think this is? We rip on people for far less.

Hell, Null just recently featured Chantal for admitting she's a coke addict.

I dont know if this is useful information but this is how I start things and end things

Just do it once a day, slowly bleeding out over time until one day you just.... subconsciously don't do it. I find this method of things a hell of a lot easier than quitting cold turkey.

Exercise yourself into exhaustion for a couple of weeks. The endorphins from exertion will make up for the dopamine shortfall. Also, chuck all of your paraphernalia. You might be thinking "yeah but if I relapse I'll have to buy it all again", but if you chuck all your shit every time you relapse the sunk cost might encourage you to stop from the sheer stupidity of it all.

The phrase “drunk people have sober thoughts” has some truth to it. Sober people are just too honest to a default.

What do you gain from smoking it in terms of how you feel? Do you smoke it to relax? To feel happy? To focus? Start by pinpointing what it's doing for you and find replacements through exercise or study or hobbies.

Just make a thread in Health & Fitness. There's already a thread in there for people trying to quit nicotine.

I've only ever dabbled in edible's, but from my infrequent usage of them over the course of a year or so I've determined that I should probably never touch them again. I don't know what actual ecstasy feels like but god damn if I didn't know there was another drug going by that name thats how I would refer to edibles. Shit is amazing, but that's the issue its rife for abuse. There are no negative affects on the body other than if you have a panic attack on it that shit sucks, with alcohol and presumably other drugs when you come off your high you feel like shit which might be a deterrent to doing it again(certainly is one of the reasons I rarely drink). With weed at most you're a little dehydrated, and honestly I probably only felt dehydrated because I was crushing entire sleeves of ritz cracker's like they were carrots. God damn does shit taste good while you're high, everything sounds better, movies are better, literally any positive sensation/emotion is cranked up to 10. That's the problem though you just descend into a hedonistic spiral, and you don't want to come down.
