Sober 2016

I cut down on the drank 2015-2016 drank like 10 times tops never got smashed. Started again and I prefer when I didn't drink. I m a bud smoker so the drank just gets me tired and lethargic. I need to stop, just a waste of money for me and it never enhances my night. Ever. Im happy I saw this thread today. As of June 9th I'm done with drank. Shout out those that are stone cold sober that's another level. I want that one day. Peace.

I can count on one hand the amount of times I've tried weed. Never could get with it.

Thought about giving up alcohol all together because I was making some poor choices. Once I realized things for what they were, I cut back a lot. Before I would drink with the intention of getting hammered or blacking out. Now I only do it socially to kick it with others. Wish I'd have tried to turn things around sooner. :smh:

We gotta be the same person. I barely drink now. I've had a pint of Hennessy in my fridge for a month now. That used to be a every Friday night thing, then another Saturday. I never liked the way weed made me feel, idk. I feel like at this point if I need to be under the influence to enjoy certain aspects in life it ain't for me.
 
Nobody should have to smoke weed to enjoy something.


If anything it should just enhance whatever you already enjoy doing.
 
relapsed :smh: alcohol
ironically on my 11 month anniversary
It was bad, going to the hospital bad.
I had to(very deservingly so) deal with my wife last night and listen to her hide her sobs in the bathroom this morning before work :frown:
I started to be depressed about it, but after talking to a person about going in to a program tomorrow I feel like while i should feel crappy, I should remember the progress I've made and continue to build on that because that's all I can do.
Back in the hole for sure
but I'm gonna climb my way out

Respect and love for those that still fight the fight
You are appreciated
Keep on

-Start serving coffee at meetings so im guaranteed in meetings
-get a sponsor
-work those steps harder

You seem like you want to do what you need to so you stay away from it. Remember how you feel today and keep a positive attitude.
 
Been sober for a couple months. Feel good but I find myself bored, if that makes sense?
 
Yooo this thread is dope for me. I need to get clean. I need to put the bottle down for good. And the tree for a minute. I end up throwing my sobriety for fake friends and women I only meet once. Respect to all going thru the process. Peace and love.

Going through the motions on this one myself. Been trying to take baby steps. Cutting back on drinking significantly etc. But I know at some point I'm going to try going cold turkey completely.

Props to those in here who have and those who have made changes.
 
Use to drink heavy. Went thru some ish that forced me to turn my life around. Hard reality check which made me cut back significantly on drinking. Plus I wasn't feeling the hangovers the next day so that helped too. Made me realize how dependent I was on alcohol to be social. Glad I made a change.

You'll get back on your feet bro. Take it slow and take the steps you know you need to.

I did it for 9 months when my lady was pregnant.  Never been a heavy drinker so it wasn't too hard to do, but i did come close a couple times.  Even after having the baby i still don't drink as much, now i've become an occasional ganja smoker and by occasional i mean 1-2 every two months maybe.  I don't like the feeling alcohol gives me anymore and my tolerance is embarrassing lol.   Good luck to everyone fighting!
 
Haven't rolled a blunt since Independence Day.

Smoked trees for six years . I'm good on the yuck mouth.
 
Drinking hasnt been a problem since i was in the Marines... probably drink 4-5 times a month... usually in friday, me and the boys drink some Henny or Jack.... I'm gonna go on a tree break soon. Maybe to start 2017
 
im on and off trees i dont have a problem with it i'll prob indulge about once or twice a month :smokin

Been weed-free for a few months now.  For the first time in my life I can honestly say I don't miss it whatsoever.  Between the money, the fatigue, and the anxiety/paranoia it's just not for me anymore.  Not to mention I've been going to the gym much more frequently and I've noticed a significant improvement in my cardiopulmonary function ever since I stopped.  

I cut back on drinking a while back, but I've been loosening my restrictions as of late.  I'll drink a beer or two just about every night after work these days.  Weekends will maybe be 3-4. I love IPAs way too much. I don't think I'll ever give up beer, but I'm always mindful of my consumption.

Never drank but been a weed smoker since the late 90s (high school). It never got in the way of anything as I have a masters degree and a pretty good job. Just tired of it now tho. For those in the blessed states you wouldn't even understand but for us in NY every aspect of it from getting to using is so rife with issues (legal, supply etc) that you just get tired of it all. And I have had amazing suppliers, horrible ones the whole gang but it just all averages out to a bad experience in the end since you can't just get it yourself.
 
How's everyone doing in here?
Since my last relapse I'm still going strong(112 days) Go to Kaiser groups and the outside groups called refuge recovery, which are more of a buddhist based belief road. I got tired of AA and needed to mix it up if i'm going to take this serious. I still do AA and NA but refuge recovery is home for me. I'm reading the NA book now and listed to some sober podcasts as well. It's def one day at a time, but I'm going in with a willingness to try anything to stay sober
