Sober with weed?

Im struggling, i want to smoke weed but at the same time idk if thats right. Im 117 days clean off of everything but i am fantasizing about smoking weed. Im not sure if im running from feelings, or am bored. :confused:

Does anyone else stay sober with smoking weed still?

You certainly can and many do, however you probably won't ever learn how to rely on something greater yourself if you always have an escape route. If you smoke weed you will run to it everytime something challenging comes up, so in turn it basically becomes your higher power. That is from my personal expereince it didn't work for me. It's all or nothing, life on lifes terms. Good luck

I know for me, after I admitted I was addicted to pot onto of all the rest that allowed me to honestly assess that situation and accept that it too is a drug to me. I have been vkwan off pot for 8 months and I know I can think clearer and I definitely feel better about my recovery.if you have to question it, you probably know the answer already. It's definitely your program and whatever helps you get into a state of mind free from addiction. If I smoke weed again it's going to break me down and take me down that same rabbit hole it always does. Now even though I have my medical card, if I use anything other than the gummies for pain I will fall to old habits again. To each their own just please be careful and be honest with yourself.

Why would you want to put that in your lungs?

I think for most of us it has to be all or nothing. Weed is just another crutch.

Weed is just another fisad to hide behind. An additive mind will always gravité towards something to be addicted to. It is up to you weather you want to fall in the grips of another addiction or tell your ego to go away and get over giving in to addiction

Complete abstinence.is the beginning of a new LIFE. IM IN AGREEMENT THAT YOUR DRINKING AND USING CAREER HAS BEEN RUINED AND RECOVERY HAS BECOME VERY PERSONAL FOR YOU. REMEMBER DRINKING AND USING IS A SYMPTOM.. AND NOT THE REAL PROBLEM... LET'S DEAL WITH THE REAL PROBLEMS AT HAND.put pen to Paper

I've read the others & yes,it's just another crippling crutch. And it will take you down the same dark road that you're trying to get out of. Im at 16 1/2 years now. U can do this. By seltzer water & if u get a slight urge,start chugging one. Let out that loud burp,turn off the phone & go for a bike ride to clear your head. Riding in nature does wonders. You really have to want it for all to work. Again,all or nothing. Take care & be well.

why would you give up 117 days?

Saved your money :moneybag:.

They call it California sober. I say that between you and your higher power. I too struggled early on

Right on

Yall have a ton to do.....sobriety isn't big here... not much to do without being drunk or high. I work out ALOT lol

Thanks everyone. I did decide to stay away from the pot. Today I celebrate 4 months sober off all substances

I tried the whole "California Sober" thing but ended up relapsing. I was spending hundreds at the dispensary for things but in the end it wasnt enough.

Congrats, Erika! I didn't want to chime in with advice, except to say good for you for reaching out to the community for help! None of us can do this alone!

Weed alters my perception. I tried the marajuana maintenance method and it doesn’t work. I always ended up using all of the drugs and alcohol.
Step work, meetings and service is the way to real freedom.
