good luck bro and stay strong.
I am going on 5 months with no booze. Cold turkey since Jan 1st. You can do it man. I think the key is to keep yourself busy with positive activities that get your mind off of whatever the given substance was. peace_highst

12-step Groups & Hypocrites
6yrs Here !!!
First off let me say congradualations & good luck to ya ! (oh yeah the 12-step programs teach ya it aint about luck or will-power) howerver they do say that a drug is a drug is a drug, yet a % of these people are racing for the doors to get their nicotine on (2nd most additive drug there is + kills more peeps a year than any other drug (learned this in rehab & observed its powers before & after 12-step meetings), not to mention those steamin pots of caffien. Also the NA book + hard-core NA crowd will tell you that: "We sought help through medicine, religion & psychiatry. None of these methods was sufficient for us", like NA is the only way, not, its the only way it worked for them. A many of people have got & stayed sober through those other methods, so don't give up if NA doesn't completely do it for ya !...Theres alot of good in 12-step meetings, but i suggest take what you can from it, but don't believe every little detail, remember when we showed up at these meetings we are very venerable to everything so be consious of this, because theres so much foreign info being tossed our way upon entering. When i think back, i remember them teaching/pitching to us that: don't get to tired, to happy, to hungry, don't sleep to much, don't become a work-a-holic etc... cause this can cause ya to relapse. Another words anything you do can cause you to relapse, so be careful what you take & leave at NA !...Hell our superatendent at work has 24yrs sobriety & guess what he did after going to rehab 8 times + 12-step meetings for years with no prevail, yes thats right he became a work-a-holic & walla !...So doesn't any 1 way/thing work for everybody across the board, yet i can say i drew from a many a source to get where i'm at today, not just one !
P.S. What they wont tell you is MJ doesn't have a known chemical addittion, kinda selective about what they teach/say, hah !...So Peace Out

see last nite, i had 3 glasses of wine and some valerian root, and i found out yesterday i had strep, so i wouldn't consider that a relapse cuz I dnot feel fuckin guilty at all. But today I looked for vicodin and didn't find any so Im done lookin for pills. And I feel like shit right now. I was gonna call a friend up and ask for some buds, but im gonna stay strong. It's been a hardddddd dayyyyyyys life today. u smoke masterlow?

Its a day by day thing when coping is tough Holy Smokes..what worked for me to get through it was excorsize, no matter how much your body tells you it cant or youll hurl do it anyway. Get a bunch of glasses of water and just keep active, dont sleep in and get movin all day till you drop. It will make you get some sleep the next night and then your one step closer to not wanting what your addicted to AND have the will power to say F that, synthetics will only harm my sacred body. But then you start feeling good and that is a trigger to want to get high.. Push through it!! realize how much of a crackhead you sound like when you "look" for pills don't get in the cycle again.

Hang in there guys!!
As of April 19th it will be 4 years sober for me. I was a piss tank who couldn't hold onto his drivers licence. Ended up doing time eventually for my antics.
I live in the woods by myself. Hard life when you don't have a DL.

Good luck holysmokes... Ive been alcohol free for about 4 months and cannabis free for about 2 weeks. I am trying to make it where its not a daily thing like it use to be. Life is more colorful and less hazy without drugs.
I wish you the best of luck avoiding alcohol and cannabis (if you are trying that too).
**side note** If you use cannabis for medical reasons theres no problem using it daily, but for me I don't have any medical conditions I know of and it was purely for recreational use or for the lack of stress management skills. I've been to counseling and I plan to turn cannabis use into fun time instead of needing a crutch time.

im still wondering why you are hanging out here if you are trying to go sober?
i too am an alcoholic. booze = after back to back blackouts it was time to call it quits. but i still relapse from time to time. gave up hard drugs years ago, never touched em since.
if you count pot as a drug ive never been clean.

... farmer....are you accusing me of something, because i refuse to respond to your question. Are you a bigot?

Relax holysmokes.... farmer was just wondering why you are putting yourself around the topic or stuff itself when you are trying to remain sober. That is all. I still hang around here b/c even tho i dont smoke I still grow.
I do consider cannabis to be a drug. Anyone who says otherwise is in denial. Caffeine, nicotine, alcohol etc etc are drugs as well. Any chemical natural or fake that has body or mind altering side effects would be a drug in my book.
