Exactly. But to tell an adult, lifetime smoker that "weed is a gateway drug" is silly.

Avoid bright screens within 2 hours of your bedtime.
try meditating as well...it will take you some time to get used to it but mediation will work wonders for sleep and to reduce stress...
that sleepy time will help also...

What, is that not a proper way of drinking whiskey?

I've been on this move since 1/1 - only with alcohol though. I've never been a smoker.
I usually only drink one night a week, but I swear I can feel the effects of it still lingering in my system for days after the fact. I typically hit the gym 5-6 days a week, and mentally my head is much clearer when I have gone a couple
weeks without a drink in the past.
Headed to NYC/Philly at the end of the month for work & I know it is going to be tough. I work in a very social industry with weekly happy hours, but I think I can hold off for a few months.

Not sure what is proper but if you were speaking from a literal sense, isn‘t that a lot all at once?

I have 51 days clean today. For me I need to live in a recovery house/ attend AA or NA meetings. My worst day sober is better than my best day high. I had 8 months clean but I moved out of my recovery house to my own apartment and started whylin out for 2 weeks. Caught myself slipping and went back to my recovery house. It sucks at times but in all reality, any day I don't wake up sick from opiate withdrawal is a good day indeed. I got my life back. I'm not trying to figure out who I am going to rob next. I am a productive person now.

Try melatonin. It's a hormone that's naturally inside your body and it's not harmful in any way. It's quite helpful for most people unless you have a serious sleeping disorder.

On the 21st it'll be 90 days for me currently in the 2nd phase of Kaisers chemical dependency program. I attend AA meetings regularly, even more when I can't make it in to the Kaiser recovery meeting.(like this week)
It's def one of the hardest things I've ever done(quit alcohol and herb) but i can honestly say I'm getting to know/like myself better and my marriage has improved a great deal with my wife knowing she won't find me passed out on the couch after she gets off from work. I'm actually holding up my end of the bargain. I haven't told everyone but mostly people have been openly supportive out of those I have told, saying we can hang out do sober activities(i.e ANY activity without having to smoke a bowl/blunt or pregame), and that means alot when it comes from people that I've party hard with.
Relationships are def changing some for better, some for worse,
there's one that cuts me deep though
I'm not sure if the guilt of the people I've hurt, most notably my wife ever goes away, not sure if I want it to
This is by far the most humbling thing I'm currently going through, true honesty with yourself and who you are, I know it's something I didn't really take the time to do
glad someone made a thread
will def be checking in
and man I decided to get sober right before the holidays popped off, one of the most grueling things I've gone through mentally, I'm still shocked I did it.
Those that want to do it, just know its a COMPLETE lifestyle change, I don't go to bars, stay at peoples pads who just have alcohol for the taking
house parties are a no no, my wife makes sure we wait for a table even if there are plenty of tables and booths available in the bar area of a restaurant. I'm closed off from the world, isolated, Slowly gaining my legs under me to be able to hang out again, I'm grateful for those friends/family that still check in, still text support, show me love and are just waiting on the sidelines now, waiting to just hangout, I'm glad they understand that this is a process
I've known I've had a problem so my tactics may seem extreme, but thats what I needed
good luck to everyone

Probably just drank some nasty *** beer. Goodluck to all of the sober people, though. Had a three month cleanse this past Summer. It was pretty mind-opening for sure. It's always good to detox. Now I only drink on the weekends since I work during the week.I'm 23
