First day of my Journey. 100% curious to meet the original me. I really don’t know him after 24 years of abusing thc. 39 now. Thirt kid on the way. This is my moment in life.
I know I am strong. But how strong am I.
I finally acknowledged that I have a problem. I just can’t say no. All my life I told myself ‘I have a good job, I have money, I have a great wife and kids, so whats the harm?’.
Well Low libido, Low testosterone, skipping social gatherings but the baddest thing, beeing under the influence while being with my kids. Damn..
All these cons should help me see that this can’t go on anymore.
Everybody around me know now, step one. Step two, quit that sh*tt
I’ll keep you posted on my journey with meeting the original me
Thank you! My addiction is weed. I’ve been smoking for 24 years now. This is my first real attempt. But I have to say, when I look at my kids it’s already motivating me. I feel strong and 100% dedicated. My plan? Just don’t buy it anymore, focusing on my hobbies but in a different surrounding and talking with the right people I guess.
Well I hope you are able to stop smoking by not buying it, but if you have problems doing that you can post on here and get some advice from other people in recovery, don’t be too hard on yourself if that doesn’t work.
for me I replaced the addiction with recovery and going to meetings working with a sponsor and changing my way of life. Weed might be easier but it all depends on the person I guess.
in either case, we’re happy to have you here with us thank you for sharing!
Thanks man! Luckily i have some close friends that i can talk to. Today is just the second day. I feel i don’t need it but a voice in my head is telling me ‘now you can’t do it anymore, are you sure? Never again is absolute’ i try to ignore it and it’s going well but it’s such a strange feeling
We always say “one day at a time“ so instead of thinking about the rest of your life, just commit to not smoking weed today. Then, tomorrow, do the same thing. Try not to stress and keep your mind occupied.
keep us posted my friend and i hope to be seeing you active on here because we are happy to have you here. We’re all trying to do better not perfect, ya know?
When you are functioning even though you are abusing something it can be easy to make those excuses. It’s not that bad, I am doing a b and c. (I did the same)
But do you want to just ‘function’ or thrive? Enjoy? Have respect and honesty for yourself?
That’s right! I want to thrive, enjoy and be the real me. No more lying, no more putting my addiction before the rest.
It means a lot that yall are responding to my posts.
thank you for sharing!
