California sober

Wrestling with the idea of using cannabis on my journey to be alcohol free. I know it's frowned upon in any 12 step program but if I were to be prescribed a mood altering pill by a doctor that would be OK. Doesn't make sense to me.

I take CBD with thc gummies once in awhile for sleep. Do what works for you.

I'm also not a believer in the 12 step program, granted it does work for some.

It’s not sober, it’s just quitting drinking.
Doctors do not prescribe weed. No clinical trials. Some say “it may help”.

Bottom line is It’s an inside job. Only you know if you’re getting better or getting loaded.

If weed is not a trigger to drink or do hard drugs go for it. If your goal is to only stop drinking of course

It's your recovery! I'm an addict so whatever alters my mind is a no go for me. I'll just trade one addiction for another. Goodluck to you.

I don’t think it’s a problem if your goal is to be alcohol free.
