Weed has been helpful for me in many ways, helped me abstain from cocaine and other things. I am trying, we all recover our own way what’s your issue. I am missing a limb it works best for pain

Lots of people go Cali sober initially. Don't let others discourage you on your journey. Do what's best for you. Missing a limb can't be easy. Just heard a testimony the other day of someone losing their leg and boy howdy... I can't imagine being in pain every day.

I think this place works however you use it. People post and get encouragement mostly. Celebrate their wins. Still take what you like and leave the rest. Apparently there's a counseling side and dating side as well.

Don't listen to that one comment. You are sober. I am a weed smoker it got me off meth 19 years ago and alcohol free for 3 years now just focus on the positive.

By all means there was no discouragement.

There's a different between sober and clean
Sober <-> alcohol.
Clean <-> narcotics.

So you're trying to get clean off of narcotics. I get that and wish you luck.

When I went through my cancer treatments I was prescribed marijuana. Was it effective? Yes. Did I use it recreationally? No. Did I drink over it? Absolutely not.

Here is where you need to be honest with yourself. Only you can answer this question. Are you using it medicinally to ease the pain of the body or are you using it to ease the "pain" of the mind?

It worked for me to ease the pain of my body then I know it will work for you. Just be careful. A lot of people trip up and get addicted to prescription medicine.

Hey @m276885 - congrats! One day at a time!

To answer your question, my best understanding of this app is that it’s an online community of sober folks - or folks trying to get sober.

You’re able to post daily gratitude , if you’re struggling, recovery questions, or about life in general.. I believe it’s mostly about creating a community.

It helps me when I’m not at AA/NA, etc. feel more connected and not alone in sobriety. There’s also a sober tracker and other tools within the app.

Hope that helps answer your original question, you got this!

It helped me rid my prescription addiction, but I do use it for my mind and body.
Some days I use it for the pain in my mind but I’m aware and that’s why I am trying to quit completely

I wish you luck on your journey as well.
No one can tell you how what and why it works for you.
Only you know what works for you and what you need to do.
It's amazing get right with God and you will know peace.
This community here on this app is an amazing place to talk about the bad things.
This community offers support suggestions and assists in the struggles with recovery.
I have found this app to be extremely helpful.
I was restricted to bed 2 weeks ago and I have another 4 to 6 weeks to go.
I can walk with crutches to go to the bathroom but they want me laying in bed with my leg elevated. I can't stand on it I can't put any pressure on my right leg. I had major reconstructive surgery on my right knee.
This app has been helping me get through these times of trouble.
I know without this app the community the friendly and warm thoughts of this family I would be climbing the walls and I would have already been using.
So keep the faith Monday at a time and remember it's your journey and no one else's.
