I was a pot smoker and drinker. I was prescribed gabapentin to help with quitting cannabis. I would have a puff in the morning, afternoon, and evening, which was probably over a joint a day. It's nice to be clear-headed now. You can do it! Sober 3 weeks now and I really thought it would have been alot harder than what it has been. Sending you strength.

You got this one day at a time

I’m on a similar journey as you, but only aiming to tackle my marijuana addiction. I started going to AA and NA meetings and the community and support had made such a difference. I know it’s scary! But I also know it’s so dang hard to tackle by yourself! If you want to private message me, you can- hang in there girl you’re rocking it!

The challenge for me with weed was that I want to be high. Then, as soon as I do, I want to be sober. That dilemma also happened with alcohol - except I didn’t have a choice as the withdrawals would have killed me. Knowing that I’ll want to be sober as soon as I get high keeps me from doing it. It’s still hard. I don’t believe the physical harm is anywhere near alcohol, but in my mental state it’s harmful to my progress.

5 days of choosing YOU. That’s 5 mornings you woke up sober, 5 nights you made it through. That’s progress.
