Hi everyone, I am curious what your feelings are about THC use? I am almost 2.5 years sober from alcohol but I still occasionally use THC. So I’m not technically sober but I feel sober. Everyone on this site seems like such a great, knowledgeable and supportive group. I have such mixed feelings about this. Am I being dishonest saying I’m sober?

You’re sober but not clean. If it doesn’t trigger you to drink, do hard drugs, or ruin your life I don’t see a problem with it … I’m a non smoker

Opinions and concerning ourselves with the opinions of others is also a form of addiction.

Only you can say if you are an alcoholic or not. Only you can say if you are sober or not. It’s an inside job.

Unfortunately I loved the alcohol/thc combo. If I smoked I'd need alcohol to calm the paranoia. If I drank it was time to find the weed. 30 years of that was enough....had to quit both. I admit I was always a little jealous of people who could just smoke and not drink.

That's why I'd be worried about because weed also cause paranoia for me too. Not worth the risk for me.

For me it was a slippery slope. I did the same and in time my addiction Brain would say how bout a drink or how bout a pill when I was smoking. Before you know it years later I was off to the races. Smoking dabs like crack, popping pills like tic tacs and binge drinking on the weekends.Ended up In jails and institutions so for this addict I stay clean from all mind altering drugs. Be careful because the marijuana is more potent than ever. For me the answer is in the steps and working a program. Wish you nothing but the best.
Thanks Matt. I appreciate your insight.

This is my opinion only. I had to change everything in order to become the man I am today. Weed always lead me back to my DOC. Drug of choice. Once I gave up drugs and alcohol, and started working, the 12 steps, I started to become something that I never knew was an imaginable. The man I always wanted to be. 
It says in The Book the only requirement is a desire to stop drinking.
....a drug is a drug is a drug is a drug.........the type of drugs I do does not make me an addict. My mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical responses from doing any drugs makes me an addict. But hey, some people can, some people can't. Sooner or later, we all find out. Keep coming back no matter what.
