Woo killing my alcoholism before it kills me!

I have been drinking THC drinks since I found out the local gas station carries actual delta 9 thc drinks but i'm sure those are much better for my liver so whatever. AND they help me sleep more than smoking does

awesome! feels good doesn't it?

I'm on year 8 and no regrets

[–] UrsineApathy@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck yeah! Congrats friend! Just passed a year myself and weed and seltzer(non-thc laden) has been a great way to kill cravings as they come.

Hell Yeah! I was off drinking for 3ish months around the birth of my kid last year and honestly I might just drop it again for good

I dunno if it's just my adhd-ass brain, but there definitely was a cut-over point of "i just don't do this anymore and i don't care" and i was losing weight like crazy which I saw as a positive (although, a good chunk of that was birth and post-birth stress and fight-or-flight mode because neither of us ate properly for like 2 weeks). But i feel like once people hit some sort of threshold for a habit of just not doing it, it must become way easier?

Keep it up though, you've got this

Booze is so gd bad for you. I drink less and less every year but I still occasionally get into it and generally without fail I take it too far (I just really would rather get fully altered no matter what I do). It’s obviously not healthy.

Glad to say I just don’t really keep booze in my house anymore and that mostly does the trick but that didn’t stop me from buying a six pack of the strongest beer on the shelf last Sunday and proceeding to completely ruin my Monday. Honestly there’s so many better substances to be abusing but it’s the most easily accessible and that’s often what really ends up getting me.

Those THC drinks arent nearly as bad, if at all(i dont trust that unregulated gas station stuff as much but its probably fine). I know alot of weed addicts(myself included), and have known(keyword known) some alcoholics who were dead before 33 from liver failure. Alcohol is so fucking bad for you. We arent supposed to drink it likes its our only source of safe hydration like it's the year 1500 still.

Congrats! Little over 9 months sober here, it just gets easier as time goes on

[–] SickSemper@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

Congratualtions, That's so sick! About 5 months off booze now and feeling much better for it

I been sober for like 2 years. Fuck alcohol it’s stupid. Congratulations. It gets easier everyday. My advice to u is to not go to bars

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hell yeah, proud of you! doggirl-happy

[–] notthenameiwant@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Nice. Hope things are going well for you. A piece of unsolicited advice, try to have a maintenance plan for the later months. It gets easier as you go, but alcohol is a uniquely tricky substance to stay off.
