Welcome, first 30 days are difficult! But what they say, one day at a time!

Some advice what some times helps me if I am feeling horrible of the withdrawals, is to say “I am grateful that I feel like this because it is a cause of the using.

You are mentally okay! If you weren’t okay you wouldn’t take the step to quit!

I’m also on a cannabis free journey, coupled with anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I’m on day 6 and it’s hard, but we’re not alone :yellow_heart:

Edit to add: I recommend stocking up on ginger candy. It helped me a lot with the withdrawal nausea, which was no joke.

Today is my day 1 after 5 years I relapsed. My drug of choice is alcohol.

Welcome! What was it that changed, that would make you pick up again?

I let stress and feeling helpless fool me into having that one drink. I let my guard down and thought I could have just 1. Like Bill said we can’t have not even that one.

So bad to here! But watch out with the alcohol, it can lead you to use other drug. That is wat I hear from experience people.
Ps: I don’t want to scare you but just have that awareness! Keep it up!

Thanks ToufTouf, yeah I will keep in mind when it get harder : “It is okay, If I feel like that I am grateful because I am trying to get ride from Drugs ! And it is the process for it.”
Is that Right ? Have a nice day !
Day 2 for me !!!

You are doing good! But still alcohol maybe a social thing but it’s also a drug!

If you quit everything is better! But trial and error do what you think is best for you!

From my experience and other if you drink and are off weed, you also can get ended by drinking in a mood off “I don’t care anymore, I will take a joint”

They learned me the following letters: words
H: ungry
A: angry
L: onely
T: ired
S: tress

These could be triggers for a relapse!

I am not perfect, I also make mistakes but I rather maker mistakes and learn from them, then not to make mistakes!

Congrats on day 2 fellow!
